Customer Reviews

Excellent Photos, Good companion to the TKG

This book has excellent color pictures of various species of tarantulas and even has mating pictures. This is an excellent companion to "The Tarantula Keeper's Guide". I say companion because the technical/care information in the TKG is more comprehensive and accurate.

Pics Wonderful, Info not as great

This book has it ups and downs. The good: This book has THE best Pix of any tarantula book I have ever seen. There are pictures of the most of the popular species and pictures of the two most important events in a tarantula's life, molting and mating. Plus they are lamenated. The bad: Some of the info, especially in the begging of the book can caus possible harm to your spiders. Plus, most of it is outdated, particularly on the names of the spiders. I recommend getting this for looking at the pictures and "helping" to identifing you tarantula. But for info on tarantulas, get Stanley and Marguerite Schultz' The Tarantula Keeper's Guide.
