Amidst my ageing number of pets, one decided to join the golden years club lolShe should be roughly more than 5 inches in diameter now

Haha! She doesn't move a lot. Moves like twice a week. Did a survey before and most people are freaked out not by he spiders themselves but on how they move/walk/run

That sounds about right. The ones we have here aren't as colorful/pretty as yours but they're still neat looking. Its when they rear up like its going to attack you that freaks me out. I've heard that a bite can be very painful.

They don't do that defensive pose thing with me unless i provoke them to do so, so i could get a nice photo. Dunno why a lot of T keepers go on telling that Ts are aggressive and stuff like that. Doesn't really help out people who are already scared of spiders or those people who wanna understand spiders more. I get bitten by my gliders more than any of my pet animals combined with zero biting incident coming from my Ts

The ones I look at are still wild/free so if you try to pick one up they rear up in attack mode. Even though the chance of being bitten is low just the thought of how painful it might be scares me.

Oh i see.. i wonder how'd i react seeing one in the wild. We don't have huge native spiders back at pitcairn islands nor will you see any huge spiders in the philippines, mostly just huntsman spiders at the bathroom lol. Bahrain is not so homey for spiders let alone a tarantula
