Product Description

Product Description
Terrarium hobbyists interested in acquiring a truly exotic pet as well as life science students will find virtually everything they need to know about keeping a tarantula in captivity. This book includes detailed information on the natural history and biology of these fascinating creatures, and the care chapter has been completely updated and revised. The book is filled with colour photos and scientifically accurate line art, most of which examples are new to this edition. Since its initial publication, hobbyists have come to consider this book the "Bible of Arachnoculture".

5.0 out of 5 stars This one!, 14 Jan 2004
This review is from: The Tarantula Keeper's Guide (Paperback)
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)   
This review is from: The Tarantula Keeper's Guide (Paperback)
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
This review is from: The Tarantula Keeper's Guide (Paperback)
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.
