An apology for what? The only person who has been slanderous is you.

So why ask then?

It was pretty obvious "will it eat me" was a joke

The amount of people I meet who think insects are not animals, whales are fish and tarantulas eat people, I'm not too sure it was.

oh my god, do you get out much? meet many people? or are you judging everyone based on the silly questions you have read? of course i know insects are animals, whales are mammals and tarantulas dont eat people.

Don't you think this petty argument has gone far enough?

Matt, if you had posted this on the reptile forums, you would have got worse treatment than you did from Miss G. I'm sure she wasn't being mean delibrately, she was just concerned as probably were others. The main thing is that you have done your research and you know how to care for your T

T's are a huge responsibility as i'm sure you know and not knowing what species it is is a bit strange although i reckon it's def a Chilie Rose

My OH is looking into getting a Mexican Red Knee, they're very beautiful

Also welcome to the forum. Any more pics of your T? I love seeing pics of them
