DESCRIPTION:
A special chapter offers up-to-date information on some of the most popular and readily available species such as the Costa Rican striped-knee and common pink-toe tarantulas. Designed for the beginning tarantula owner, this comprehensive manual includes essential advice on selecting, feeding, and caring for your pet, as well as tips on breeding and health maintenance. Despite their stereotypical portrayal in movies, these easy-to-care-for spiders make excellent low-maintenance pets. Very few spiders generate the same emotional reaction as the large, hairy tarantula. This all new addition to the renowned Herpetocultural Library puts expert-written advice at the fingertips of reptile and invertebrate enthusiasts.
If you need an intruction manual it's ok, BUT THIS ISN"T IT! Let me just say I'm not sure how I feel about giving this book 2 stars. I've been in the tarantula hobby for 8 years now. Recently I've started collecting every piece of published literature on the subject I can find. This book almost seems like an insult for the hobby. Its broken down into 7 chapters. Nothing in this book is above a 3rd grade science material. The "info" and uninformed opinions in this book wouldn't bother me had it been written in the 50s-60s. Sadly, it has a 2006 publishing stamp. The housing discussion section is so genera. Mike B said Ok book. It has some good information about tarantulas in case you want to learn something but there are some biased opinions and is more geared towards beginners, I have owned a tarantula for about a year and did not find much new facts
