Tarantulas and Other Arachnids: Everything About Selection, Care, Nutrition, Health, Breeding, Behavior

by Samuel D. Marshall

This is a brilliant book if you have not owned a arachnid before, as it tells you a lot about keeping your first one. Is has a good chapter on food for them, and it tells you how to house and breed them very clearly and simply. Probably the only bad point is that it specialises in tarantulas so there is nut very much information on other arachnids such as hunting spiders, Windscorpions etc. but if you want to keep a tarantula it is a very cheap and good book, which will definately help you.

I haven’t been doing anything but schoolwork and playing animal crossing for quite some time, but I’m so happy I started reading this book from my husband’s collection. There’s lots of info online, but having an actual book to hold feels more accessible, in a way. There’s also tons of info and great pictures of a variety of species. We are getting a pinktoe tarantula soon! :) I have always been fascinated by spiders, so I’m very excited to get to help care for one!

A very informative book for anyone who owns or is planning on owning a tarantula.
