I think it's the thorax, the best way to sex a spider is to go by it's shed skin

so i thank you for confirming the species but not for the life judgement, have a think before you accuse people of ignorance!

my god i hate people like you!


So your girlfriend has been looking after it for 2 years and only just decided now to find out the species?

Before, and only before, anyone decides to obtain an exotic animal as a pet, you do thorough research. It was very irresponsible of her ex boyfriend to leave the animal in someones care, who is either reluctant to look after it, or is not knowledgeable or experienced enough.

Has it eaten you yet?

Not all tarantulas are sold with their species name if it's an ignorant pet shop, or someone who has had it before and just doesn't know what it is. I wouldn't know that my spidey was a chile rose had it not been for my bf who knows loads about spideys.

Besides, there are many slings sold out there that get mixed up with others and end up being mis-sold or told as unknown species.

Matt Bowey:

The spidey is clearly healthy although I am wondering how big said spidey's set up is as Chile's are renowned for being active little buggers, mine is never in the same place.

Congratulations on owning a beautiful healthy specimen

I'm getting quite fed up with people who ask silly questions. Questions that suggest to me they now nothing about an animal in their care.

And that's why I decided not to type "Take it back to where you got it" because I feared you were probably right, and it could have been a pet shop, that actually needs shutting down.

Re: what is my tarantula??

I personally think that knowing about your animal fully and neglecting it are totally different. He has done the right thing by wanting to know more and it looks well cared for to me.
I am still learning about my rats but that doesn't mean they aren't looked after properly does it.

Re: what is my tarantula??

good point waterlily, well put. she has been very well looked after, my gf knows how to look after tarantula's and from all the research i have done for my own personal knowledge she has it spot on. the only reason i wanted to know the species is because, unlike her having it dumped on her and being forced to look after it, i want to take it and am therefore doing this 'thorough research' you speak so fondly of.

i posted on here for some help and advice, not to be lectured on the responsibility of having pets. i know what i am doing and i know to research first, i have a cat, a lab pup, will be gettin a doberman pup soon and my bro is gettin a german shephard, also i currently have 7 guinea pigs, my sisters horse i look after when she is away and my mums chickens as well. so dont try to accuse me of being irresponsible with animals.

Re: what is my tarantula??

You've got to be a certain 'type' to hold a tarantula, sadly I'm not that type...

Long live arachnaphobics anonymous!

Re: what is my tarantula??

The chillian rose was what my daughter wanted as a pet and we talked her out of ,as we havent the knowledge ,not because we didnt like them but it was because i wasnt sure if she would not panic if one came running up her arm and if we would have to rescue her. My hubs would have heart faliule. Also i feel its not a good starting pet for someone that has no spider experience.I Iove them and find them fasinating, like most reptiles also. Gorg spider by the way. I like the bird eating spiders to .

I was not implying that you are irresponsible.

What kind of a person has a Tarantula and asks "Will it eat me?"

Not even a 6 year old would ask that question.

Rats are different. They don't have specialist requirements like Tarantulas do.
I completely agree that some things you do learn along the way of owning pets - but the basic, simple things should be apparent from the beginning.

i'll take the first bit as an apology, thanks.

however you are now implying i am stupid. of course it wont eat me! what is more strongly implied is that you have no sense of humour and you need a slap.

only a single person would think i meant that it would eat me!
