[QUOTE="Enn49, post: 83905, member: 3458"] I have a book called [I]The Tarantula [/I]written by William J. Baerg and published originally back in 1958 (republished in 1997). The writer talks about his study of tarantulas in the wild and he kept some in captivity to study their behavior. He talks about studying them as far back as the 1918 purely from curiosity, as he says not scientific. He talks of keeping them in his home and office. Maybe he was the first to keep them as pets. It's a book worth reading if you can get hold of it, not too long and an easy read. There is a list of the reclassified Ts he mentions in the 1997 edition but even that is out of date now. [/QUOTE]
