[QUOTE="Kuringa, post: 219977, member: 39463"] Thank you very much guys! These answers all helped me and opened my eyes for some details I was not aware. Actually, despite my question, I've never thought about going to the wild to capture a tarantula, or 'caranguejera' as we call them (maybe due some similarity to 'caranguejos', i. e., crab). But last Friday this one in the picture just appeared on my backyard wall, slowly heading towards the grass. I can be criticized, but with my arachnophobia, I could never go to bed relaxed knowing that a caranguejera was around somewhere else. And our lawn area has no trees, no bushes, no stones, nothing that could indicate about her house being here. I'm sure she came from one of many green areas around the condo but I don't know which one. I could release her back to her hole if I knew this place and if was located a couple kilometers away from here. In another hand, me and specially my wife were thinking about having one for quite some time and in this sense the fact it came to our home was a big coincidence. I am thinking here how bad it is to keep her with us. She still did not eat the cricket I gave yesterday and prefer to stay on the 'roof' of her coverture instead going to the dark hideout. Obviously everything is very weird for her. About carrying parasites, this really made me think about the risks. Some months ago two guys here died due contact to fungus carried by wild armadillo. I don't want to harm this animal neither infuriate none of you guys, but honestly, I was looking and spying on her during all the weekend. It seems to be a fascinating animal.
