Alvin, those are super cool... :D I really love big hairy spiders.. Its a pity they don't live for long... Do you feed them with crickets and mealworms..? I've seen the Mexican Red-Kneed tarantula sold in pet shops before, although its supposed to be endangered.. Do you have the Goliath bird-eating spider (largest spider in the world)..?

edward: This hobby did cause some injuries to my wallet, but now I've sold half of my collection off leaving some of my favourite species. Tarantula keeping poisons like CPs but the effects are far worse I tell you

paphioboy: I don't have the goliath birdeater as being the largest in the world it also holds the record of being one of, if not the most, toxic species to my wallet. . Slings of 2cm size will cost about rm300 or more depending on the supplier, I can tell you this...

marvin: Looking forward to your pets pics marvin . I think it's sooo much better that you keep a ferret because it's not that I don't like keeping animals with fur it's because my mum is allergic to fur so dogs, cats and basically anything with fur . And snakes, they can be fun to keep but the food they eat is a potential setback. When you keep a snake people will mislabel you as 'cruel', 'weird' and stupid stuff like that. Tarantulas are cheaper when they're small, you can easily get them from hobbyists for as low as rm20-30 at 1-2cm spiderling size. But even though they are a different league from the plant market, I should say plants have more pros than cons compared to keeping tarantulas .

What about beetles?They're cool!And you don't get allergies from beetles and they eat pieces of fruits.

Beetles are disgusting to me. I hate insects.

[marvin1997]

I only hate butterflies!!I don't know why I'm scared of them.Don't laugh at me okay?yesterday,my cousin was driving me and my brother home,something flew in.I swear I saw something at least 15cm flew in.It scared the poop out of me and I was hugging myself all the way home.I'm to scared to put my feet down.After we reached my aunt's house, my cousin found only a leaf 2cm across and 6cm long.I swear I saw something 15cm big!

So plantlover,you only like CP's 'cause they eat beetles?

[plantlover]

No, I like CPs because I love plants, they are unique, weird and exotic and yah, they eat insects.
