hahahahahahahaha...

many people think that tarantulas are poisonous and can kill people. its just used in movies to scare people. as a matter of fact, its bite can cause at most swelling, and its similar to the sting of a bee/wasp.

usualy, the tarantulas used in movies is the mexican red knee tarantula, a species cosidered the most docile of all tarantulas!

only people allergic to bee stings die of tarantula stings but so far, there have not been any cases in Malaysia.

youd be surprised that our forests are home to majority of the world's tarantulas.

actually, i got it when it was a 1cm spiderling. it grew o this size under my care. i got it from a fellow forumer. i used to have around 30+ tarantulas.. was poisoned at one point. then i sold most away to concentrate on studies..

Oooooooooooooo That's a beautiful spider. I've never seen a tarantula like that before. The color is sort of mesmerizing, it's such a deep blue. You REALLY make me want to get one someday.
