Product Description

Product Description
Here is the definitive word on tarantulas for collectors of exotic pets, and for life science students specializing in arachnids (spiders and their relatives). The book opens with a detailed description of the tarantula's origins, anatomy, and physiology. Comprehensive information on care, housing, and feeding is provided for all who want to keep one or more tarantulas as pets or for scientific research. And for those who prefer to do it themselves, there is even advice on where and how to capture a tarantula in the wild! Extensive tables classify tarantulas according to classes, orders, families, and subfamilies. Still another table outlines measures one should take in the event of a tarantula bite--though in many cases a bite is little more than a passing annoyance. Dozens of color photos and scientifically accurate drawings illustrate virtually everything the reader needs to know about these exotic creatures.

5.0 out of 5 stars This one!, 14 Jan 2004
Buy this one!
really buy it!

Stan and Margarite Schultz are widely respected in the Tarantula keeping community.

This book is recommended by newbies and professionals alike.

It will teach a beginner everything you want to know and wet you appetite to find out more. There can be no book to inform on all aspects of tarantulas* the subject is too vast, but this book gives you a good basis and if you keep Tarantulas you won't find much beyond the scope of this book. But be warned you'll get hooked.

Oh and don't worry about the scientific names, it'll come as you learn.

I'm writing this review aimed at new enthusiasts because if you've kept T's for a while chances are you have already bought this.

*(you'll learn that the more questions you have answered will only lead you to more questions)

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book!, 3 Nov 2006
By Mrs. H. S. Finch (North East England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I thought this would be just a guide to keeping my Tarantula but its a lot more than that! Theres stuff on history and mythology (how the earliest name for the group we call Tarantulas actually referred to a furry mouse like animal!) and anatomy and physiology. That may sound off-putting but its written in a style thats easy to read for us non-academics.
I would say it is the only book you need if youre thinking of getting a Tarantula!
'nuff said!

5.0 out of 5 stars The diffinative work on Tarantula husbandry, 8 Oct 2000
By A Customer
As a new commer to the hobby of Tarantula keeping this was the first book on the subject that I bought. I found this publication most enlightening and it answered all my questions about the practical side of Tarantula Husbandry. I highly reccoment this book to both the beginner and the advanced Tarantula keeper alike.
