[None !!6vrLXLkbLUs No.]

>>5939730
probably a good idea not to (or at least be careful), some (all?) tarantulas have tons of tiny little spikes on their legs

[Houraisan Kaguya !NEATnUrmu2 No.]

Aren't tarantulas harmless?
I think it's a dinner fitting for Meiling.

[Anonymous No.]

Why hate spiders anon?

[Anonymous No.]

>>5939686
Okay, first of all, tarantulas have been house pets for a long time, and actually make good pets if treated well, similar to snakes.
Second, yes, they're mostly harmless, although their bite still hurts like a bitch.
It's not edgy, you're just overly sensitive.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5939745

On individual scales.

>>5939747

The ones from the New World. The spider on a platter is a Chinese species with venom similar in effect to a black widow's.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5939771
So THAT'S why it's being given to China.
As a personal question, are tarantulas actually good pets? It seems like it could be high-maintenance and/or dangerous.

[Anonymous No.]

That's a lot of spiders regardless, is this part of a professional interest?

[Anonymous No.]

>>5939771
Guess it's a good thing black widows can only kill young children and old people.

Yes.

[ZUN !barYV1VtIA No.]

>>5939722
Can you post more pictures of your tarantulas?

[Anonymous No.]

>>5939787

Aside from the Goliath Birdeater (Theraphosa species) who needs swamp-like conditions to thrive, I consider them lower maintenance than a house plant. Very simple to keep. The ones capable of putting you in the hospital are from the Old World (Africa, Asia, Australia). A bite from one might be one of the most painful experiences in your life, but you won't die.

The hobby is fairly large, and there's a lot of resources online if you're interested.

>>5939788

Used to be. Now it's just a serious hobby.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5939829
Awesome, thanks. Not sure about a serious hobby, but a pet one would be nice. I'd be too terrified of it to try petting it though.

I hope to god I never see one of these in real life, ever.

Yes. I would like to make it on topic to /jp/, but it's difficult. I can't fuse these hobbies just yet, though I do have a Reticulated Python named Marisa.

What the appeal of having a spider as a pet? They're not exactly atheistically appealing and you can't really play with them.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5939878
>you can't really play with them
I wish I could, spiders don't seem playful
;-;

[Anonymous No.]

I have never been afraid of or repelled by spiders. I view them the same way I view wasps or bees. Annoying, and potentially painful, but hardly scary or disgusting.

You know what scares me? Rabies.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5939878

Sure you can play with them as demostrated in the OP

[Anonymous No.]

>>5939878
Atheistically pleasing?

Of course spiders are atheistically pleasing! What better proof that there is no god?

Half my captcha was untypeable, but that just means it's the book half.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5939891
But OP's spider doesn't seem to be particularly amused.
Then again, I'm not a spider-expert, I have no idea how to tell if a spider is pissed off at you except that it'll stay on it's back legs and show it's fangs at you.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5939878

[Anonymous No.]

>>5939975

Not yet. That's been on my mind for a few years, but I never get around to it. Next eggsac one of these produces is going to be sold to that purpose.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5939986
How much does an eggsac sell for? I've been thinking of turning my basement into a breeding ground for creatures that I can profit off of.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5940003

Depends on species, supply and demand. Number of offspring can vary from 30 to 2000. Some spiderlings will fetch $100 per individual, but the cost associated with getting the parents is rather high and success with the rare species is few and far between even for experienced keepers. Poecilotheria metallica, Monocentropus balfouri, Pamphobeteus species, Megaphobema robustum. Hard to breed, but you could potentially make a few thousand from one sac.

For more common and easy to breed species, a couple hundred is the norm. If you get 1000 babies from something like a Lasiodora parahybana (Salmon Pink Birdeater), you can sell each for $5.

It's not profitable and you won't make a living off of it, but it can supplement your income nicely.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5940027
Who buys them off of you? Petshops? Creepy guys who like to cook em?

[Anonymous No.]

>>5940042

There is an arachnid hobbyist community. You can put them up on classifieds. People will buy them. The common species just might take a while to sell off, like the spiders who produce 2000 babies per sac.

btw OP can you keep jumping spiders as pets

they're so sweet, whenever I find one I like to play with it, having it jump between my hands and whatnot

I suppose it would be very, very hard to keep track of them though...

[Anonymous No.]

Hey Spideranon,

Just thought I'd give you a thumbs up. I love spiders, and i used to be a fanatic about them decades ago when i was a kid. Seeing these pictures brought back the memories of pouring over books in search of more morsels of knowledge about the wonderful things. Also, I was greatly depressed when a friend of mine killed my resident house spider. It was about 3 inches in diameter... I would sometimes leave the door open so a few extra bugs would get in for him...

I hate spiders.

I trap house spiders and flush them down the toilet.
I light a lighter under one that's descending down a single thread and watch it burn up.
I have a slipper used solely for smashing the hideous things.
I beat stage 1 of SA and immediately restart the game to do it again.

Fuck spiders, man. Spiderman's alright though

[Anonymous No.]

>>5940397

The tarantula hobby is larger than ever, if you ever wanted to materialize your interest again.

[Anonymous No.]

It wasn't really a pet but in my old place there was always a huntsman lurking about and since I assumed he was eating roaches and all the annoying insects I never bothered him, and over the years he grew into a magnificant creature.

In short some spiders are the most useful household invaders and I don't mind them.

[Anonymous No.]

For those of you going to bed soon, sweet dreams.
