| Re: Strangest pet you've ever had
I've owned a few species of theraphosids (aka tarantulas): Theraphosa blondi, Avicularia purpurea, Poecilotheria regalis, Poecilotheria metallica, and Haplopelma lividum.
Very neat little guys. Well, the blondi had an 11.3 inch leg-span. He was the big guy. Friggin' garbage disposal I tell you. The purpureas are very friendly and will let you handle them. Anything Haplopelma is going to be fiesty and defensive. I let him do his own thing in his cage and he was a happy camper. As for the Poecilotheria's, I never handled them. Got good money for the female P. metallica though. Very beautiful genus and I highly recommend them for the more experienced keepers out there.
