My Rose is right now being so comical and awesome!!!! Fed her, shes got like...4 large crickets hanging outta her mouth, setting up more webbing (she has webbing everywhere now) and standing up on her tippy toes.
Finally seen her drink without a sponge too! All good there!!!

I have more awesome videos of her, so if anyone wants to see them, I'll post them in this thread for you guys. My fellow Rosie lovers!!!

Thanks! They are cute lil guys ^.^ Wolf Spider and Black Widow are next in the spider category.

Just cannot wait to get a Mexican Red Knee T though...I am 100% addicted.

WOW a Black Widow...how is it taking care of these spiders without getting bit!? Id be a little bit nervous lol

 

[khatchet]

I would not keep one but most generly a black widow will not bite unless it is about to be killed.

 

[BigTGirl93]

I think they are really neat looking but I wouldn't wanna mess with it lol I like to watch them though

 

[khatchet]

Yeah but there are things that ill have as pets that could kill me. I would love to have one my girlfriend just would never let me.

 

[BigTGirl93]

Yeah thats true

They have never made me nervous even once. The spiders are more afraid and just get still, and don't even bugger about when I'm feeding them. They've never tried to come at me, or even escape. My garden spider is like a devilish looking angel. They're surprisingly easy as long as...well I call it a knack, or experience....different ways to explain it, it comes natural to me. I'm certainly logically cautious...like, I'm not worried at all over ever getting bit by my black widow...I just don't do risky things. I wear gloves that their fangs couldn't hope to penetrate if I think for a second they might actually make a move on me, but in my years of doing this...they never have. I think out of them all the wolf spider will be the most challenging. The web spiders...act like i'm not even there. Like this is my first T, I can tell you now, spiders are WAY easier. AND T's aren't even hard!!! My Praying Mantis's give me the most grief. They are fast, and always try to get out. *shrugs* Lol. I guess it is just second nature to me. Been taking care of spiders for....at least 6 years, Praying mantis' 2 years, and now my T. And more T's to come!!!!!!! The more the merrier!!!! Lol, All my 8 legged children.
