Strangely, I just finished a short script that ended with the protagonist eating a tarantula. Fried, not roasted.

Neat, COOL Pictures

Very good pictures

spiders are awesome. cool picutes. this site really helped me w/ my homwork

This site really helped me, al well, for a project I am doing for science. Thanx!

I just bought an Australian bird eating spider! She's a black version of the picture on this site, and about 3yrs old.
Now I'm just trying to be a good dad and give her what my parents couldn't give me; a warm log and lots of fresh mice :P. They are scary, but beautiful.

This morning when I looked out of my bedroom window I saw a huge beautifully "knitted" spider web.I thought to myself, oh boy, how big must be the inhabitant of this unique piece of art? But compared with the Queensland Bird Eating Spider, very tiny. Your web site helped me a lot for my project I'm doing for TAFE. I live in Queensland.
Well done, many thanks.

i hate spiders, but am doing a project on the goliath bird eating spider, found in brazil, to try and overcome my fear of them. i must say that once you get over the first shock, they really are quite different. i still dont like real ones, i hate they way they move. thanks for helping me!!

hello howz things???well this site is good but me and my friends rekon you could take a better shot of the frog being mutelated!!! try again!!!

muchly appreciated
ben, d'arcy,nathaniel,ben,bob &joe

My wife’s tits are hairy, it she a spider?

The best clue would be if she had attempted to
hunt you and eat you after you copulated.

Wicked pictures man....I WANT one of those PURPLE BLOOMS...but my new queensland babies will do for a while. Yes, NewSpiderDad, scary, but beautiful.
Hehe POOP, you'll know if one ever does suck on that shrivelled up old thing.

I just bought my Celeste - she is gorgeous. Watching her eat is amazing!

cool pics of these scary mawfuckas. i hate spiders! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh they are as hairy as my fuckin' asshole brrrrrt fight fight.

Great site, i have a Queensland Bird Eating Spider, and wonder if the females mind being handeld and if you feed them mice are they pinkys or live ones. Thanx

I really h8 spiders. Especially the big ones. I really liked the pictures though!

beer! beer? beer. we like spiders

who the hell wrote half of these comments? i think it was a really great site with lots of good pics.

I'd love to cook a pizza and maybe put on a pink dress. Spiders, they're the ultimate fashion accessory.

Those pictures are AWESOME!!!!!!!

The info helped me lots with a project. Thanks.

i just got a queensland bird eater who is a fiesty 5 week old female i named her "shiva" after the hindu godess of distruction and you would know why if you saw her eat her crickets i live in sydney australia by the way is anyone wants to contact me

could you possibly email a pic of a full grown bird spider , m friend says there is on about 6 feet

that stuff is off the hook my brother, keep it real with them spiders

shimoney that is cool

I just brought myself a Bird-eater,and I"ve got to tell you that they are the best pet to own.I:ve got a 4 foot tank fully decked out like a rain forest,thanks to your site! I"ll send you a photo one day.
DUJON<<<

nifty page...
got myself a rose hair... would like to eventually get me a bird eater one day..

i had a rose-hair tarantula... no offence to the owners but hey lets face it.. they suck... the most inactive spider that will fast for 2 years at most with no apparent reason and they are the slowest growers (not a very good spider for the IMPATIENT) I reccomend if you want to be active with your tarantula get a bird-eater goliath they will eat as much as u do but to their proportion (be careful not to fatten them up too much) and u will have to read into them but the results are rewarding to watch them other than the LIVING PAPERWEIGHT - ROSE HAIR

it is impossible to over feed a tarantula... they eat when ever they want regardless... plus rose hairs are very beautiful spiders and good for beginnners. all spiders are awesome and not everyone wants a spider that will lunge at what ever moves...

ahk!!!!Deskjot hopt derak!

Spiders are cool!!!!!

spidas r cool this site is cool it has god pics
peace

these pics are awsome thxs for the info on these crazy son of a guns.

ohhhhh no ...no way... what nutter actually purchased one of these critters. I'm scared stiff of spiders. Im on this site trying to conquer my fear....it's not working...mabye i shouldent be here...hmmmm

i've got a salmon pink& i don't find her aggressive as i allow her to sit on my shoulder while i walk around the house, but i do like the pictures on this web site nothing more

WOW
What a huge spider!! We just saw a Daddy Long legs spider catch a European Wasp, I thought that Han and tim might like to see the size of a Bird eating spider.

Thanks!

HOLY SHIT!!! those motherfuckers look like they can kill a motherfucking elefant holy SHIT!!!

Ya... Kirsty is a crazy bastard.if i had a spider on my shoulder. I would fucking freak.

Cant those things like launch invisible hairs in the air and they hurt like hell, have any of you crazy bastards with a spider ever gotten some in the hand. and how the hell do you pick one of those things up, myy friend says that you grab by the ass or the thing that is puffy at the back (I don't know what it is called) is he right.

Man these coments are funny,
Any way i just got a Queensland bird eating spider the other day and i got a 2 foot tank in my b,room. Well the bloody thing got out that night. I was shitting my self, but i found it two days later curled up in a towl. mine is a female about three inche leg span, any one know how old it might be.

I love this Birding Eating Spider

wow i love this site and im a kid

excellant site just what i needed for collage course

i have travelled all over the world BUT NEVER in my life seen a spider like the one in our apartment in Noosa when on holiday, it was bigger than my husbands hand and legs the size of his fingers,the only large spider I have seen (apart from a Huntsman) that climbs walls!

Hi.

My name is Jenn and I love spiders sooooooooo much. It's so hard to find someone who you can have a relationship with and shares this same passion. I live in Brisbane so if anyone is interested in keeping in touch, I'd love to hear from you. Spiders rock!!

Cool Website! I love spiders and you really helped me get pictures for my report. I'm 12 yrs old! Thx ALOT!!!!!!

don't u guys have anything better to do than look at giant hairy spiders eat frogs and birds. Get a life guys.

But what could BE better?

Drugs wear off, sex makes you tired after an hour or so, and music... well, you can use it as a soundtrack for some great spider-watching!

Spiders! They eat faces!

have just purchased my 2nd bird eating spider as 1st one died mysteriously,this 1 smaller think it may be male,is it true the males abdomen is darker?

Pfffffft...that spider aint nothing... spiderman could kick its ass!

Hey I have a question. I really want a birdeater but, My friend said you cant handle them. Can you really not handle them? O should I buy them when they are youngens or, shall I buy them when they are full grown??

hey i am about to get me a bird eater i have had a rose hair and a blue cobalt is the bird eater too much for me?

heather you can handle them but i mean come on they are an aggressive spider there is no promises it wobnt just sink his fangs in you and you cant tame a bird eater

heather also if it helps put baby powder on your arms and let it crawl it will not irratate it as much but in all reality it is just a look at spider where gloves if you dare but trust me a blue cobalt turantuala can bite threw leather a bird eater will have no problem

is anyone going to answer me

anyone there

come on

It's a slow-moving site. I'd answer, but I don't
really know the answers to your questions. I just
like the idea of these giant spiders.

Yrs,
master grant

r you talking to me grant jw anyway

Hey im about to buy a bird eating spider i live in penrith and i want to know how much i should pay for a setup

I hate spiders and they are gay with men, and they scare everyone too so why dont they go and die in a bush in Australia with horse people.

I love this site. I am currently on my second Australian bird eating spider, the first escaped to terrorise children in my neighbourhood

Hey guys
Wicked as site. spiders are the best
i was wanderin i live in Gawler in South Australia and how much should i pay for a Bird Eater

The Avicularia spider is very cool! The blue look was very cool

Glad i found this I THINK lol im off to Burma soon and been told these spiders are quite common there. Not good when you dont like spiders lol..
Great site
Sam

i fucking hate spiders!! agh!!

Why do spiders have 8 legs? You'd think with all the hype, they would only need like 3. I mean come on, why 8? Do they really use ALL that leg power? Christ you have other members of the Kingdom Animalia with none. This is not fair. Darwin is pissed.

Got milk?

I have a rose hair tarantula,and I named it Red Rose.
What is the biggest tarantula there ever was?
What type of food do they like the most?
How many types of tarantulas are there?

Well, the biggest tarantula would be the Goliath Bird-Eating Spider.

The food they like most is mainly smaller spiders, insects and whatever else it can leap on and devour -- frogs, birds, wayward children, garden gnomes....

How many types? That depends on what a "type" is. There are 13 subfamilies, and, conservatively, a bajillion species with new ones being discovered all the time. You'll find more about them at this great tarantula info page.

this website was alot of help w/my homework.
cool spider!

I just bought a bird eating spider today, some people say u can hold them but only the owner of the spider cos they get used to you, then i'm told "no way they are very venomous" HELP who is telling the truth. Mine is only very young (a few months old) and its eating little crickets at the moment. I paid $30 for mine. also how long do they live some say about 10 yrs and others say up to 50 yrs, once again who is telling the truth.

hey christine i dont know the answers to anything im just having a kick readin all them funny ass comments

I believe this is one of those websites that are for families, for research. why is all of the foul comments still on this site? I am discussed by the comments of people who have no respect for the children who go here. Who is responsible for all this trash.

even yet this is a very informative site. Thanks.

i've got a martinique bird eater and she is sitting on my shoulder right now. she is very sweet and alot of the info given was definetly helpful.... thanks

Marijuana is far less dangerous than alcohol or tobacco. Around 50,000 people die each year from alcohol poisoning. Similarly, more than 400,000 deaths each year are attributed to tobacco smoking. By comparison, marijuana is nontoxic and cannot cause death by overdose. According to the prestigious European medical journal, The Lancet, "The smoking of cannabis, even long-term, is not harmful to health. ... It would be reasonable to judge cannabis as less of a threat ... than alcohol or tobacco."

-www.norml.org

Oh, come, on...blah blah blah about weed being harmless. I have seen people so stoned that they have blackouts, like people do on alcohol. They function, like walking zombies, but they drive , go to appointments, work and have no memory of much of thier time. you must be a female, because if you wer a man you would know that THC, marijuana, inactivates KILLS the cells that produce testestorone WHAT MAKES YOU A MAN! So if you want to go through life becoming more and more feminine (look at the tits on all those chronic-heads) and not remembering what you do, go head smoke away......
BY THE WAY
I LOVE SPIDERS
I DON'T EVEN KILL ONES IN MY HOUSE
I LET THEM LIVE IN THE WEBS
I'D REATHER HAVE SPIDERS
THAN
HAVE FLIES IN MY HOUSE

PURPLE BLOOM BIRD EATING SPIDER
I WANT ONE. AARE THEY SOLD IN THE USA?
GOLAIATH BIRD EATERS are interesting also, but palin in color.
Now I have tiger moth caterpillars, puerto rican land snail (I think one ran away) lots of guuppies, mollies and some applesnails and a bunch of house spiders (in my house of course)

Awsome sight Keep up the good work

I have an Aussie Bird eating spider and quite frankly they are boring compared to tarantulas from oversea's. I just hope that one day those idiots in charge of environmental well being enact laws which allow Aussies to order larger more entertaining tarantula species from oversea's. That and it would be nice to meet other's who share a common love for spiders in the Brissy area, as like people are very hard to come by.

Hey these are great pictures. I'm twelve and I am fascinated with Entomology, Arachnology, and Herpetology. Does anyone here want to talk? If so email me and Bugzurk@AOL.com I would love to talk to anyone who is passionate about creepy crawlies.

HUGE FOOKING SPIDERS!!! EEk! LOL! I'm a wuss when it comes to the teeny tiny garden spiders in my back yard, but most tarantulas (as long as they're in a container/habitat) don't bug me. However, those bird eaters are enough to scare the bejesus outta me! They have a disturbing beauty! I'm glad there's folks out there who appreciate these eight legged critters! We don't get them here in Canada, unless they're in a pet shop....

hi love the site,i recently bought a pink salmon bird eater and was just wondering what the best ideal set up to have it in, more info would be great thanx

It seems this is a very healthy tranchula, BUT OBVIOUSLY THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS ILL ENOUGH TOM CUT OFF HER FEELERS. CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS??????? SO NOW MY QUESTION IS??? Will she be able to catch and eat crickets on her own. Or is she a lost cause? she is very attentive and chases the crickets all day, is there something slower I should feed her. can a tranchula live with out feelers

o ya. cool site.

Thank you for the information. We were having a discussion on whether or not Bird-eating Spiders actually EAT birds.

Do they actually eat birds?

Sometimes, yes, but not often. Too hard to catch.

Hi, do you know anything about a spider that flys, has a yellow body with a red dot on it?

Wooah wicked site i had a tarantula of my own and im looking for another spide this site helped me soo much thankz alot XxX

We are forming a nature club. Your site is really cool! keep up the good work! ( awsome pictures!)

The other day I got a goliath bird-eating spider. I think that it is a male but not sure. Watched it eat a cricket was very cool.

Do any of you know how to tell ma or fe?

yes they have a bigger adomin than the male and then the male is also smaller than the feamal

Just found out someone in the area has a bird-eater (oh God help me) how far can they travel and how fast?? If they are a mile from me, and it escapes, how long have I got before it gets me? I havn;t slept in 3 days....Also, is there anythign that repels them? You know like vampires don't like garlic? I'm on the sofa screaming n crying n praying even if there's a tiny little one in the corner!!

Man how can you like this, you guys are freaky

Thanks your site helped with some school work .. but for future use of other people you should add a bit more information about habitat and things!=)

Great site great pics can you tell me how to tell the diff between male/female

The Xementhis immensis is fukin massive!

I always thought that Bird Eaters were Robin Williams, Mick Jagger, ect' now I'm truly enlightened''' John

Has any one been bitten and how dose it feal do you swell up

The Pictures Are Totaly Scaryifying!

My spider is not hardly moving and eating should it be doing that?

wondering if there are any birds that eat huge spiders? how about spiders that eat dolphins?

Can someone please tell me how far a tarantula can jump!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

plz answer i'm begging u because it bit me and i need to know how far they jump

Someone correct me if im wrong, but tarantulas cant jump..there are some spiders that can..but not anything nearly as big as a tarantula. Google "jumping spider" and you should get some answers..

Aeee - Shelob had children!!

Give me a double-barelled shot-gun or Sting and I'd face down these terrible beasts like the true hero I am! ;-)

Otherwise...RUN-AWAY!!!!!!!

i like this site that u maid for other people and i like the spiders that are shown and u should show MORE PICS ON BIG SPIDERS U EVER SEEN...

Well, i was thinking bout getting a Iguana...but now i changed my mind... These things are vicious, and i like vicious! (Gotta love em when they jab those huge fangs into a 'lil 'ol mouse - poor thing - i almost shed a tear when i saw it happen) Does it say how much they cost?

nerds :\

I hav neva owned nethin like a spider or a snake or nethin rather then a cat or dog, however, i am getting a bird eating spider next month, some of u say they are aggressive, well i say u r soft. c'mon so wot if it bites u, sure its goin 2 hurt like hell, but atleast ull have a cool scar nd a nice story for the ladies.
nd in the end, isnt that wot really matters?

these pics have been awsome and they are so beautiful and i just love these spiders!

Yo dog I luv the pics u should definetly put more on here tho

how can all you weirdos like spiders they an kill you you are all fucking stupid they are going to take over the planet!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm not messing.

i think that this web site was quite interesting and that spiders should not be harmed in any way if you are scared of them stay away from them.

well spiders can be the alternate for the men's bestfriend.Is that cool?
or it can be our anti insects' bites detector
all right thats all!!!!t.y.

could u possibly send me a picture of the biggest spider in the world?

I have a rare breed of spider livng in my house it has a image of a diamond on its tail end and when it hangs upside down it looks like a parrot it is an endangered species it is red and black can anyone help me as i have a breedin pair that fly on the birds necks till they land then they nest they only eat birds, but they are fast and i have been bitten twice by the femamale.thanks EC.

Hail All! :-)
I have to say that (Like a lot of other visitors) I just absolutely adore Spiders with a passion...As far as I'm concerned, they are both the sweetest and most beautiful creations of the Gods upon this Earth.

Anyhow...Crazy though it may sound, I'm trying to source information about how to turn my flat into an ideal habitat for common species of spider, but Google hasn't turned anything up yet. Generally speaking, my flat is cool clean and dry (I would imagine ideal for most common house spiders) but as I am pretty much a "cold" person myself, the temperature of my flat can drop to anything as low as -25°C during Winter. Obviously not ideal for house spiders, but would it make a good habitat for outdoor species? :-)

To Emilio: If I were you, I'd double-check that "Diamond" very carefully at a safe distance. If it's red and more or less resembles an hourglass, then stay well out of their way as they could be Black Widows.
Now everyone knows that 'Widows have a pretty nasty venom, but I have heard that if you leave them alone and don't annoy them, then they won't want to bite you. :-)

On that note though: There is another breed of house/urban spider which closely resembles the 'Widow, but is perfectly harmless. The distinction between the two is that the harmless variety has brown/mustard colour markings on the abdomen, which do not resemble an hourglass.

Farewell, and happy Spider rearing! :-)
>> Death <<

i like spiders!!! their actually kinda cute.

I like your pictures - can I use them one my own site?
