It's deadly to small creatures, but the Goliathâs venom is not lethal to humans. On the few occasions that I have handled my Pink-Toe, it has walked from one of my hands to the other a few times and then just settled down in the middle of my palm and appeared to almost go to sleep. I think by reading this article I got a little less scared THANKS!
I was quite surprised myself that she would eat something that wasn't alive.
Their optimum temperature range is from 21-29 degrees Celsius.
Some spider keepers choose to use verticulite for the bottom of their vivariums, but I prefer to use a kind of peat substance that you can buy as a dried block from your local dealer (just add water and watch it expand).
Arboreal spiders like the Pink toe prefer something taller, whereas the traditional cube shape would be a better bet for terrestrial species like Chile Roses and Curlies. Average size when full grown: Over five inches.
A cute little hamster maybe? (Fish & Shrimp Feast) Yes. I'm trying to figure out what species of tarantula spider is going to be best for me.. This species is reasonably priced, commonly available, is both hardy and quite docile.

The greatest danger presented by being bitten by a tarantula spider is that you might have an allergic reaction to the venom. It is probably not the best of reasons to buy a pet, but it does happen.
It is very hard to encourage it to walk from one hand to the other. Such a wasp will paralyze a tarantula with its sting and lay its eggs on the spider's body. Pink toes are also very good at jumping and my wife once got quite a scare when mine jumped out of my hand and ran up the bedroom wall. Species like Chilies etc are usually pretty placid and even if they were having real bad hairy legs day, they would tend to warn you of their mood rather than just biting you.
We also have two snakes aswell but I really want a Mexican Red-Knee tarantula now. Living environment: Burrowing or tunnelling. Columbia, The Mexican Rose Grey Tarantula (Brachypelma Verdezi).

A spider though, can be left to its own devices and it will not fair any the worse for it. When it does this it is saying back off, dude or I will bite you, so you had better back off dude or it will. The Mexican Redknee’s optimum enclosure temperature is between 21 and 32 degrees Celsius, and they are relatively tolerant of variations within this range.
You stand this underneath the vivarium, but make sure that only half of your viv is heated.
If I only kept spiders though, I think I would probably catch insects from the garden because spiders don’t eat much or often, so it would be pointless me keep buying crickets etc that might die before I used them. When you are thinking of buying a pet, what comes to mind first? But they're not! They are a terrestrial species and in the wild, they would live on the ground; or more precisely underneath the ground because they are a burrowing spider. I've kept tarantulas for many years.
