awwwwww she's so cute <3 I love spiders

Very beautiful, though I am very afraid of spiders. xD
I love the blond-ish yellow.

They really are kind of cute. I started getting into bugs for the cool and creepy factor, but not cute. It wasn't until I started keeping them seriously and watching them so closely that I started to see new sides of them.

It's great that she's such a calm spider. I bet she loves her new home!

I personally think they're adorable XP Everyone has a different idea of cute, though.

:That is a big freakin' spider! But she's actually pretty!

Lovely fuzzy creature. This one over here is one of the biggest tarantulas in existance, right? I´ve never touched one before, and I wonder how does it feel to cary one in your hand. Are they heavy?

This kind is the largest Grammostola species, but the largest tarantulas are the bird eaters. they can get HUGE. Zosky might get another inch or tho, but not much bigger then she is. I can't believe how soft the fur of her legs and under body are (though don't pet the back. they have itchy hairs). It's like holding a hamster (with less chance of being bitten). She's really not that heavy at all. I expected her to be heavier.

awesome. courious thoe what do they smell like or do they have any smell at all courious?

She smells like her bedding

so your spider doesn't have any smell of its own? it smells like pine? or ceder? whic u use =3

If anyone uses pine or cedar on anything, small animal or especially tarantulas, they're an idiot who want their animals to die. It's no secret that both those beddings are very deadly to animals and should never be sold as pet bedding just because it's cheap.

Eco earth is what I use for her. It's very cheap and is perfect for many humidity ranges. It's a ground up coconut husk and has the smell and feel of clean dirt.

awesome. and ty for that info cause i didn't know. i only have had large animals that does not require beddings of that sort.

I see a lot of "pet stores won't sell it if it's dangerous" but they sell anything that people buy. It's why I also would never suggest buying an animal from a pet store because they're mill bred. Big business thinks of money first.

i agree with you on that D+ sad but true D=. my animals are stray / rescued ones =3

*squirm*While I personally am terrified of them, I am always glad to see you happy sweety *huggles*

She's the kind of tarantula that can melt fears and hearts ;P

That's an incredibly big spider. Though I've heard Tarantulas are very docile, and most of them resort to using those itchy hairs on their legs before biting

my father had a tarantula for a while ,I don't recal the subspecies...

But anyway, she was very odd, she did things that I'd never seen any spider ever do.

For one, she was more then a little lazy, as well as knowing the comforts of life.

Seriously, in her setup, she made a hammoc between two pieces of wood (silk of course) and would lay in it ON HER BACK.

She was healthy for a long time too, she would eat and such and was active, it's just that was her preffered lounging manner... Yes, she molted before that and continued to lounge there even after she had molted.

She did eventually die of unknown causes, but we don't know how old she was when we got her.

Love Tarantulas!!

Before I'd hold one, I would most likely pass out from fright. ^^; Cause they are one of those creatures that both intrigue, and spook you at the same time. She looks very lovely, though.

I'e always been both fascinated and frightened by spiders. It's their extraterrestrial appearance that bugs me about them. There aren't many creatures that look like spiders, unless you include Coconut Crabs (And they're just plain creepy!) This tarantula is very pretty, though scary lookin'. It's the huge mandibles and size that scare me. Little spiders don't bug me.

She is beautiful...how old is she?

The guy I bought her from said she's six years old.

Looks good for her age...a ground dweller?

She's beautiful! Take good care of her they're very fragile.
