The Amazing trap door spider




The trap door spider builds it's nest underground.It is harmless. Most of them live in funnels and the eggs are a weird color. I don't know much of them right now so this is all I can give you. Here is an upclose of one. some people think they are tarantulas cause of their size.They are known eat rodents in peoples houses.

the black widow





The black widow is very venomous its bite is 15x stronger than an rattlesnakes.Like all spiders they lay eggs but they lay their eggs in grayish silken balls.Black widows are known to live in barns,garages,basements,rodent holes,stumps,and trash bags.They mostly seek dry places.The widow female is darker than the male the male does not bite.The male is killed by the female after the femal constructs and lays her eggs in the sack.The egg sack contains up to 900 babies!!!After the eggs hatched they live with their mom for a few weeks then they leave just intime to start their own web.

The Pink Toe Tarantula






The pink toe tarantula is a spider good enough to keep for a pet if it is safe.It comes from brazil africa and some other places that we learn about.This spider might scare you if it jumps at you,hey did you know that they canjump up to five feet in the air thats taller than an 10 year old!!! ok but if you do want one of these beutiful creatures just follow these simple steps.ok you will need to buy some hermit crab soil a ten gallon tank a broken flower pot a watering dish and a huge rock.Then once you get every thing set out we can begin.STEP1:take your soil and smooth it out through you tank.STEP2:take the broken flower bot and set it down in the tank now this is its hiding place.STEP3:now we take the watering dish and fill it up with water then set your rock in the bowl.The rock is to keep you spider from drowning.The spider eats crickets every week.Ok if you do get bit i would call your doctor incase of allergic reaction.It is strange how this spider does not shoot its fur at you instead it rub's its hairs on you.To get the hairs get out of your skin your gonna have to get some duck tape put it on the place it rubbed its hair's on you then rip it off your skin after that rinse off skin to be sure you got all the hairs off.If you do have one for a pet please be careful with it they are very fragile!
