OMG I kind of "rescued" a tarantula-- help!

Natalie, I have to thank you for that great course on sexing them! I'll be referring back to that when I'm brave enough to pick her up and check out her underside. Next year. Or the year after. Or I might just wait to sex her by seeing how long she lives...in two years if she's still alive it'll be a girl... LOL!!!! But seriously, that's a great bit of info there. :-)

there was no mistaking worms for spinnerettes. these were WORMS... they were eating their way out of her, and were also crawling around the tank. GROSSSSSS.

Oh, poor Charlotte!

i was not speaking quite as literally as you took some of the stuff i said to be lol! i know they dont literally have thousands. but there are still a lot.

Well, my dad would think it was even more unacceptable to have tarantula babies crawlin all over my room. But I still think it would be pretty cool.

Wow, Natalie!
This info is awesome. I don't think I'll need it any time soon.
Thanks!

Just a quick update, Tatiana has eaten two crickets. :-) And I got to give one of the girls at work, Shannon, an absolute coronary by leaving Tati's molt on Shannon's keyboard. :-) It was a good day. LOL

Would love to have seen the reaction

Actually, I actually felt a bit guilty because she jumped clear out of her chair and then I thought she was going to cry-- turns out when she told me she was petrified of spiders, she actually meant, she was petrified of spiders....

And the fact that I still laughed my butt off made me feel even MORE guilty...

She warned me to watch my back tomorrow, because I really was mean to her all last week. I locked her in the x ray room one day and then on another day scared her witless when I popped a plastic bag right behind her head. But she's so easy to pick on... she's only 17, so she gets the brunt of it...

Oh, and I put a still-juicy dead worm on her keyboard too and she didn't see it till she touched it... that was a good one.

LOLOL Hey, have to keep things interesting right?!! If you can't laugh...

The girl who used to work there, Betsy, was scared to death of mice and made the mistake of telling me... oh, I tormented her sooo much but it was so easy to do. I'd buy those real-fur cat toys, shaped like mice, and hide them in the cabinets at the office or under her desk... in her car... and every time, every single time, she'd freak. It was awesome when she'd reach in the cabinets and her hand would land on it. She would literally fling those things while screaming. LOLOL But she kept falling for it so I HAD to keep doing it!!!

She came back to the office one day from making a deposit at the bank, and she had accidentally kept that little plastic box that they have in the drive-thru, you know? So I had my husband call her and pretend to be a police officer, called on by the bank to arrest her for theft... omg, she was in a panic, it was AWESOME. LOL

It's possible I have too much free time at work...
