Spiders to breed at home
Trixopelma cyaneum, female specie. 8” (20cm) with legs.
Acanthoscurria brocklehursti – large birdeater spider from Brazil. Watch out for your eyes – his tiny hairs are very poisonous and could damage your eyesight.
And this one – Aphonopelma anax – birdeater from the south of Texas and Mexico.
Brachypelma verdezi – rare and pretty calm spider from the tropical rain forest of southern Mexico.
Columbian one – Pamphobeteus fortis.
What’s common among all of these “bird eating” eight inch spiders? The common is that you can breed these little species (well, not so little; I’d said – lethal) right in your home, in a small terrarium. Adult spiders eats less than one cockroach a day (or a baby mouse once in two weeks), sitting in their terrarium and terrifying your guests.
But if you’ll ever leave the cover open…

The hair of the Acanthoscurria are not poisonous at all, they just cause a temporary rash. And all the tarantulas have this hair, and are not poisonous,
And although all the tarantulas have poison, most of them are not dangerous, the bite hurts, but the poison is just as strong as the posion of the bees. Even the most poisonous tarantulas can’t cause the death of a human (unless the person is allergic to the poison).
This kind of wrong information, is what causes that people fear this beautiful creatures, and hurt them when they see them.
