Ok its here, my Mexican Red Knee tarantula is here in fact its in the very tank that is show here.

The spider arrived on the 12th Jan 2012 and was delivered by post haha yes post how cool is that Mr Postman!

I never saw the spider for the first 10 days it just stayed hidden in its cave, it never ate but I think it came out at night to drink (a little).

Two weeks later my B.Smithi is nicely settled in it has taken and eaten 3 crickets and will not need feeding for another week. When the spider pounced on the cricket , and I don't use that word lightly, it was fast really really fast. Wow this type is supposed to be slow, really?

So every evening the tarantula comes out and sits in the enterance to her cave, its well cool. Its a juvenile spider about 6cm at the moment and over the next few years she will grow into a big bad spider, I hope.

Picture of the scary thing  coming soon.
