Finding the little fella that started this thread has made me look at Tarantulas and I am thinking of putting one next to my desk in my office as I would be interested to watch it work.
I can sense another thread coming if you do that........"Any tips for locating an escaped Chilean Rose Tarantula?"

I had an aquatic store when I first left college and I had a small reptile section, I used to do quite well getting ladies that I met in the pub to come to the shop to handle a Tarantula....
