Giant Tarantulas The Enthusiast's Handbook

by Orin McMonigle

This handbook is for the advanced beginner who wants to learn about basic terminology from prosoma to opisthosoma, different types of incubator construction, standard basic breeding methods, and other items beyond the pretty spider in a box, and yet not be drowned in a sea of text so vast the eyelids must be propped open with a small stick. Species accounts for over seventy different tarantulas adress specifics such as the male apophysis, range, egg counts where available, common behavior, etc. but does not pretend that each and every species is kept in an entirely different manner or that repeating arbitrary humidity percentages and temps conveys usable data.
