Meet Oscar my new pet

[Catherine]

I have a new pet. He is a little different and he is still quite young.
He is going to be very beautiful. He is a Mexican Fire legged tarantula.


He will be black with red/orange legs and a red/orange spot on his back. He is kind of cute in an odd way. I have held him and his feet are so delicate I could barely feel them.
He is in a small container right now because that is more secure for him. As he grows I will move him into a bigger space that suits his size. He ate a small cricket yesterday so he must be feeling settled.

There is something interesting about spiders and tarantulas are the most beautiful of the arachnid family. I can't resist something beautiful.
