Arachnophobes: Don’t Look!
I hope the title was warning enough to those suffering from arachnophobia.
Our Rescue took in a unique thing yesterday – nearly two hundred hatchling Rose-Hair Tarantulas! Here’s a photo:
All of the pinkish-tan fuzz on that bit of wood is actually baby tarantulas! You can see the black dots that is the abdomens of some of the little tikes. This by far isn’t all of them – just the ones clinging to the wood.
A teacher from a local school had the female in her classroom. The spider made an egg case and guarded it closely. The teacher consulted a vet and was told that the eggs would not be fertile since she had not been with a male in the many months since she was purchased. That particular vet apparently didn’t know about the special storage skills of a female tarantula. 
The teacher had a huge surprise when she came into class on day to find her one spider had turned into a couple of hundred! She gave The Bull a call and we, of course, took in the blighters and will have them all new homes very shortly.
Bull, out.
