4.0 out of 5 stars Tarantulas and Other Arachnids by Samuel D. Marshall, August 6, 2000
A Kid's Review
This is a brilliant book if you have not owned a arachnid before, as it tells you a lot about keeping your first one. Is has a good chapter on food for them, and it tells you how to house and breed them very clearly and simply. Probably the only bad point is that it specialises in tarantulas so there is nut very much information on other arachnids such as hunting spiders, Windscorpions etc. but if you want to keep a tarantula it is a very cheap and good book, which will definately help you.

5.0 out of 5 stars tarantulas and other arachnids, December 7, 2000
By kevin crowe (Decatur, GA) - See all my reviews
This is a well written, very informative book covering just about all aspects of tarantula care. It is a must for the beginners, and still helpful to the more experienced. Covering the basics of anatomy, husbandry, handling, breeding, etc.. Good amount of species specific information, too. Housing requirements for aboreals, opportunistic burrowers, obligate burrowers, is very informative. Great book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, July 7, 1999
By A Customer
For tarantulas, this is a good book, definitly worth purchising. It also gives some decent advice on scorps. However the other arthropods are only glanced over. He would have done better to dich that bit about orb weavers, wolf spiders ect. and write some more on scorps and tarantulas. I would buy this book if your a newbie to tarantulas.
