[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 314024, member: 1963"] husband had a pet reg-legged lady tarantula that he captured on a visit to AZ. Actually, she stowed away in his backpack, LoL. By the time he got back, she had molted in his clothing and was starving. He built her a home in a 20 gallon 'breeder' fish tank (used for raising guppies, etc). He made her a little miniature cliff face with ledges and a cave to hide in. He put up some driftwood as perches for her to sit and run upon and added a lizard light so she could choose where and whether she wanted to be under the light. I know he fed her on the big crickets and grasshoppers, but to my eye she certainly looked big enough to handle a small lizard like a skink or similar. She never tried to bite him, and I handled her a few times with no problem. husband used to put the crickets in the vivarium in various places so the spider had to hunt them down. They actually stalk their prey and pounce on it and are lightening fast when they want to be. [/QUOTE]
