Q: What do you get when you cross a tarantula with a horse?
A: I don't know but if it bites you, you can ride it to the hospital.

Ours are all black, and fuzzy not like the one pictured.
Love it when they scare the crap out of the Liberal relatives visiting imposing on us. Usually gets rid of them quickly, but limited to July, and August when the Tarantulas are out, and about.

Interesting stuff. There have been recent developments using the venom of a nasty little bugger called the cone snail for painkillers as well.

We used to spot tarantulas outside, around our grandparents house. Where we live now, we just have black widows.

When my husband and I were stationed at NAS Fallon, Nevada, we rented a home for while, outside of town, next friends who had horses. We put our name in for base houses, but had to wait. I was 8 months pregnant and in the nesting stage, so naturally I moved my refrigerator to clean under it and out ran a tarantula bigger than the span of my hand. I ran barefoot in the hot desert sand to my friends house. We fortunately got housing before the baby came. Nevada is beautiful, but the black widows (always Check your shoes before putting them on) scorpions ( my husband was stung by one on the target range) and tarantulas can make s brave man run like a girl.

The pictured tarantula looks just like the variety we had in Haiti. They would grow bigger than the size of an outstretched hand and had a vertical leap of 3-4 feet.
What amused me the most was the male MK's (missionary kids) capturing them as pets. Thank God we had a daughter!

I remember reading a couple years ago that cobra venom could relieve pain. I haven't heard anything else about it since then.
