Whether new to having a pet tarantula, or a little further along in the hobby, this is a great book to have on hand. All the basic questions/concerns about keeping a tarantula are well-covered in this book. There are also many beautiful color photos of tarantulas that will make you want to keep expanding your collection! There is far less information on keeping other spiders and scorpions, but it is still very helpful if you are starting out.

If you are interested in owning a tarantula or are new to the hobby I highly reccomend this book. It is well writen to the point and covers a lot of BASIC care information without getting to scientific or to historical. Great pictures and it has a pretty good section on different tarantulas in the hobby (talks about the temprement, housing, etc,) which will help you to choose what tarantula is right for you. This is a must for any tarantula hobbyist. Well worth your money.

This book has been extremly helpful. Recommend to all who have or plan on having Tarantulas.

I purchased this book at a local pet shop. I own quite a few books on owning tarantulas, and believe this one by far is the most informative. Whether you're thinking about getting your first tarantula and want to know the basics or you're an experienced keeper like me and you just want to further expand your knowledge, this is a great book. This book is filled with beautiful full-color photos, and has a very useful "species accounts" chapter that tells you about individual species - temperament, housing requirements, etc. from the commonly available species to the more exotic, hard to find species. It's so important to do your research, you want to have happy, healthy pets, and also be able to enjoy them at their fullest.

This is a good starter book for tarantula hobbyists with lots of great pictures to help identify various spider breeds. A good addition to any spider library.
