I can't find anything on this! Just people in Texas talking about Aphonhelma's (spelling ) in dry deserts. When I was about 7 or 8 I went to a Costa Rican tropical rainforest. Very cool! I got bit by army ants :cry: and saw a tarantula! It was in a short burrow and struck at the stick the guide poked in. That probably sparked my interest in exotic pets (none I got until last year I struck gold! Fish, tarantula, and plants). Also probably going to be some kind of vet/biologist when I'm older. :biggrin:
Anyway, I was just wondering how arboreal tarantulas (avicularia's mainly, no one is crazy enough to wild collect Pokies commercially, right?) are captured and shipped. Anoles are shaken out of trees onto tarps/sheets strung between trees, but that would hurt the tarantula right? Do they just hand pick them off the trees? :bruised: ouch!
Thanks in advance!
