Bird Eating Spiders

[Trouser]

I saw some of these guys in a canberra shop going for 80 bucks a piece. Any of you guys keep them? Is 80 dollars a good price for a spider that can allegedly eat birds? Im interested in getting some but for 80 bucks My spider should not only eat birds but be able to take the garbage out for me and drive me to work. Does anyone know what the best type is to keep? as I have heard there are a few. Also anyone got any good australian website links to them. :?:

I hate spiders. I don't know why anyone would want to keep them as a pet. I wish I had a dollar every time I heard someone say that about snakes to me.

 

[Trouser]

Don't look craig.a.c

If this were a movie, this is the point where the music gets louder and faster, and the really low bass notes get your adrenalin pumping in anticipation of something really scary happenning.

WE WANT BLOOD, WE WANT BLOOD, WE WANT BLOOD!!!!!!!!

 

[Hickson]

Not a lot of blood at all, unfortunately.

The strike was too quick, photographer missed it. This is the next shot. The squeamish might want to go to the "my new pets!!" thread or something else cute....

Look at those magnificent fangs!

I should point out that this is not my spider. It's not even Australian. I ripped the pix off an American Tarantula website.
