Tarantulas in space?

greensleeves · Jul 3, 2004

Has anyone ever thought about what it might be like to have a T, especially an arboreal, in space? How do you think they would react to a Zero G environment?

I can only imagine what a mess a bunch of free-floating Avicularia could make of a space capsule!

I don't know how they would handle the pressure as they were leaving the atmosphere, that's for sure.

Come on folks, more speculation!

We need some T loving astronauts to do a project for us!

They would be fine as far as physically. Spiders have already been in space, just not tarantulas yet.

But tarantulas are so much cooler! I would like to see an Avic hopping around in zero G!

hopping around or rocketing around?

definitely be interesting to say the least lol

Scorpiove · Jul 5, 2004

Yes it would be very cool to see a tarantula in space.

leiurus · Jul 5, 2004

there is no pressure in space.
The tarantula would burst

They could web while flotting in the air!

Scorpiove · Jul 5, 2004

leiurus they would be in the shuttle with the astronauts so there would be pressure. If they were in space without the shuttle ANY living thing would die.

Um yeah.....why would you ask such a question? what are you next going to ask what it would be like if T's could live under water? come on we need some interesting posts...not some that are out of a fairy tale book.... ;P

Pheonixx · Jul 5, 2004

LOL I wonder if you can get a tarantula to breathe flouride like a mouse can.

Then you would have Tarantulas underwater!

Don't have to go all the way out to space to experience zero G.
Just need a lab with some high powerd magnets...
