Freda Dunn - 2010-05-26 My tarantula that lives in my garden turned from the lovely tan to a dark menacing black overnight. This darker spider appears somewhat more nervous and maybe even a little larger. Do I have an interloper or did my tan get a new coat of black bristles?

Paula - 2010-09-10 From what I've read, it sounds like it may be a male that has reached its mature stage.

jesforeman - 2010-09-19 I have a 55 gallon aquarium and I have three okla. browns in it (two females and one male) along with a legless lizzard. They seem to get along just fine. I feed them crickets and grasshoppers. It is a great conversation maker when our friends stop by to visit. I feel you should put one in a glass jar and place it inside your aquarium to see how they act towards each other.
Isaiah - 2010-09-25 Am not first timer and no they would eat each other .

Tammy - 2010-09-12 I am spider-sitting a Texas Brown for my neighbor's daughter. I am absolutely terrified of all spiders but this little guy is quite calm. I have had him out a few times and am getting attached to him. Now I'm looking to get one of my own.
Cara DeRoeck - 2009-05-21 My husband and I were on a walk this evening and saw one of these tarantulas crossing the road in the subdivision we live in. It was quite interesting. We live in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Ben - 2010-09-10 I live in Searcy County, north central Arkansas, tonight my wife went into the bedroom and a brown tarantula was on the wall. It might as well been a rattlesnake it scared her so bad. We now have it in a jar wondering what to do with it.

Paul Jimenez - 2010-06-15 When my dad first came home from a job he told me that he had something for me, and I would have never expected a TX Brown tarantula in his hand. At first I was a bit scared and thats that I've owned a Mexican Curly Haired T., but after a few days he was pretty cool making webs, going in his hiding spot taking crickets down like he's never eaten before. Great pet, docile, good for beginners.
Mac - 2010-03-07 What time of year is the tarantula mateing season in Oklahoma. I have heard that it is pretty impressive to see them is such large volumes.
The Oklahoma Brown Tarantula is one of the most docile species of tarantula!
