Tarantulas are big, hairy, and even scary to some of us. Tarantula spiders are the largest spiders in the world with hairy bodies but are harmless to humans. Besides a painful bite, tarantulas wouldn’t bother you if you don’t bother them. Keeping tarantulas as big of a responsibility is just as much fascinating as they seem. Tarantulas need warm habitats to live in and are nocturnal hunters.

 

They prefer feeding on a variety of insects, lizards, small snakes, and frogs. Tarantulas usually hunt with their fangs and kill the prey with venom in their fangs. In captivity, tarantulas require a wholesome diet that consists of proper nutrition, meat, and protein content. The easiest sources of a nourishing diet for tarantulas and other spiders include gut-loaded mealworms, silkworms, king worms, super worms, crickets, and dubia roaches.
