kat - 2009-08-20 My b-fren's spider saben got out of his 40 gallon tank and is nowhere to be found . He got out before like 4 times and always went to the same spot. I am scared I am going to wake up with him on my head. I will die! I love him but I won't pick him up.
sprouty - 2009-08-15 Mine and my fiance's chile rose is called Maleficent (after the evil witch in sleeping beauty). We've had her about a month, she is fantastic. I love it when she does a weird tap dance thing on the crickets before eating them, she's evil and I love her for it.
david beasley - 2009-07-28 I have several species of tarantula. I have had my chilean for two years, and he is the only one that has never bitten me. He is a sweetheart. If your child want's a spider, this is the one for you. Picture a teddy-bear with "8" legs. A cage will be useless.
Ausin-Kain Heminger - 2009-07-19 They do not have needles, they are a species that have hairs that ich and burn. They flick for protection but this species is the most docile of its species. Look at them compared to others at pet stores, most flickers have bald abdomens, but the rose hair has most of its hair, or even all of it.
cliff p brenneman - 2009-06-27 I just bought a red rose haired tarantula and I like it so far. It's very easy to take care of but i have a few questions which is male and which is female bc I bought the bigger one at a pet shop and can u cross breed a blue and red one or no?
Alex - 2009-06-23 I just recently purchased my rose hair and I love her to death. Her name is Bella. She is my first turantula and I think shes an awesome breed for a beginner, so I don't know why others are saying they aren't. Since I haven't had her too long, I haven't noticed any of these mood swings that everyone is talking about. So far Bella lets me hold her and has never bitten me yet. She caused me to flinch pretty bad once when she was in my hand and she still didn't bite. Everytime I feed her she pounces on her food, which is pretty awesome to see. Rose hairs are fantastic tarantulas for anyone!
Lee - 2009-06-11 Hey all, I've had my G rose about 6 months now. I got it from a friend who had some hatchlings and just wondered how to tell between male or female. hope there's someone who can help. All the comments have been great and really helpful.
chris elliot - 2009-04-17 Hi, I have a chilean rose, her name is terry. She is about 2.5 years old. She hasn't been eating for the last six weeks, but two days ago she started her second moult. It didnt take long, she is now up looking out a me. I don't handle her as she is a bit moody. Sometimes when you feed her she will try to grab the tweezers, a bit scary, but I wouldnt swap her for the world. Anyone who visits can't look at her and think I'm a bit mad for keeping a spider. But she is very low maintenance and costs next to nothing to feed, plus I don't have to take her out for walks in the rain.
Jason - 2009-04-04 I've been a turantula lover for many years. My oldest T is a female rose hair I've had for about 17 yrs! She's got to be approching 20 years old and is heathly as ever. She's very docile but, I don't think she feels the love when I hold her. I've had many differint kinds of T's over the years and the rose hair and pink toed are my favorite. They make awesome pets and great to show off. By the way, I just mated her with an adult male! Can't wait til the kiddies arrive!
aaron kirby - 2009-04-01 Hi all, I just bought my rose hair today, (he or she hasn't been named yet). This is the second tarantula I've had and I fell in love w/ my first 1 I had. It took me 6 months to handle my first baby girl but I'm looking foward to holding this baby 2. Get a rose hair and enjoy, you won't be disappointed.
The Chilean Rose Tarantula has been an important spider for more than thirty years!
