1. If it's moving, there's something wrong.
2. If it's upside down, it's molting, smart one.
3. Don't put a freakin' sponge on the water dish.
4. G. roseas like it dry, duh.
5. OBT stands for Orange Bitey Thing in my dictionary.
6. Ever itch after handling your Red Knee? Those are called urticating hairs.
7. Beginner T equals NW, advanced T equals OW.
8. Talkenlate04 has many, many, many tarantulas.
9. Robc owns at making enclosures.
10. If the nature boy tells you to get an S. calceatum, don't, just don't.
11. Tarantulas are not necessarily okay together, except for H. gigas and H. incei.
12. Crickets = bad, Roaches = good.
13. Pet holes are also known as Haplopelma sp.
14. Pet rocks are also known as Grammostola sp.
15. Pet webs are also known as umm, many sp.
16. Yo momma so fat, Sir Mixalot decided he didn't like big butts.{D
17. If you get bit by an Old World T, it will be painful.




Feel free to add more. I was bored.:razz:

If your mom screams in the middle of the night, one of your T's escaped.

Messing with a sick T to see if it can still give you a threat display won't make it better.

if youe T acts likeit has just drank a 5th of booze its dieing so put it in icu!

direct sunlight is not good! but being able to see the light in a room is....

Ts dont need baths!

if you Ts legs are in its mouth its cleaning itself not dying

if your T is climbing the glass and is not aboreal, it doesnt like the substrate or its just adjusing

if you breed any T have lots of containers! walmart will give you old film canisters for free

and the nature boy lost his mind a long long long time ago..........

pokie does not mean a slow T ! it the very opposite

the white stuff is poop, not eggs or mold

dont let a T blondi flick hairs on really private and sensitive areas(huh nature boy!?)

if you get bit dont fling the T remember its your fault not theres

and no your T will not pop if over fed they will stop eating when their full

dont play with Ts if your drunk never turns out good

Forget the phone if it rings while a T enclosure is open, even with the "pet rocks" and "pet holes".

T's don't like to be petted, poked, misted with a spraybottle, breathed upon, in fact, they probably just want to be left the heck alone.

Don't handle a T. blondi while shirtless.

Don't handle a T. blondi.

Probably shouldn't handle any T.

Spiders do not like ice cream and they are not vegetarians (directed at my girlfriend :wall: )

If it's abdomen turns black it wasn't from a bad cricket.

Pine and cedar are dangerous to spiders.

T molts still have urticating hairs.

I understand the humour but it's a bit misleading
1. If it's moving all the time, there's something wrong.
7. I don't quite agree. Some NW are VERY defensive. And I don't think it's good to recommend a T.blondi to a beginner - way too many problems.

It's okay dude, I hope nobody comes to this thread for some serious T knowledge so don't worry. It's all about having some fun :D Plus, there's ALWAYS exceptions.

Yo mama is so hairy the zoo tought she was a B. Albopilosum.
Yo mama is so ugly a ogre spider wouldn't marry her.
Yo mama tanned so much trying to get better looking that your OBT gone like "Dad, is that you?"

Hmm.. no, i don't like yo mama jokes :D

If it itches its NW
If it makes a noise its African
If it runs all over your house before you realize it is Asian

If it tries to kill you, Nature Boy like it
If its difficult to breed, TalkenLate like it
If its too big for any enclosure, Rob like it
:D

If you have a cat and T's you have stories to tell about animals
If you have T's you have stories to tell about friends
If you have a cat you have boring stories to tell about animals :D

When you buy a tarantula make an enclosure first!
When you get a tarantula search for it first!
When you send a tarantula by mail, don't write "fragile". It makes the handling of the package worse.

In the event that a T's legs loose grip on a climbing surface, the front mounted emergency traction system will deploy :eek:

If the pet store employee says that males are better and more worth the money, slap him in the back of the head and when there's a lot of people around, scream "Sicko!" and point at him.
