    190 babies!

    Thank you for sharing your beautiful Athena. I don't know much about tarantulas, but I was astounded at her age and also that she presented you with 190 spiderlings. I am so curious as to what became of them. And I have to laugh when I think of watching you count them! I hope Athena is with you for many more years and Christmas is coming up!

    From vetmed:

    Prospective tarantula owners should be ready to make a long-term commitment to their pet. Males may live as long as 10 years, and females may live past 30! Owners also need to understand general spider husbandry to keep their arachnid family member happy and healthy.

    Dearest Athena, you are stunning indeed! What an absolutely gorgeous Chilean Red Flame Tarantula you are. Thank you for sharing those great photos! All those red bristles on your legs are gorgeous, and you're so cute in Santa's hand, giving him your Christmas wishes! That's really something, that your dear person found you at the Reptile Expo, and then three months later you laid and then hatched an egg sac containing 190 spiderlings! (I'm curious about what happened to them afterwards.) And then soon afterwards you became a media star with a Christmas article about your visit with Santa. You and your person love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!

    Congratulations, darling Athena, on being chosen Pet of the Day! We hope you and your dear person and 190 spiderlings and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats.

    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

    What a beautiful Tarantuala you are, Athena.

    I knew tarantula's had long life span but didn't realize they could have so many babies at one time.

    Congratulations on being Pet of the Day!
