[QUOTE="kayshuhveehill, post: 173068, member: 30885"] Hi all! I am considering purchasing a tarantula for my classroom "pet." Before I go any further, I want to make it clear that my students will not be handling the tarantula in any way, shape, or form! I want to have the spider in our classroom for educational purposes, not for entertainment purposes (though I do want them to get joy from watching the spider do it's spider thing). The reason I am posting this thread is to ask for suggestions on which type of T to purchase. I have a T. vagans at home as a personal pet, and she is great, but she spends a LOT of time in her burrow (not saying this is a bad thing!). I would like a T that will spend more time out in the open so that my students can observe it often without having to search for it or wait for it to "surface." I know pink toes are a popular choice, but was hoping for other suggestions. I teach kindergarten and first grade, so a T with interesting colors would be a plus. Thanks so much for reading all the way through - I look forward to everyone's suggestions! [/QUOTE]
