Tarantula

Yep ... I owned a tarantula.   I don't have any other pictures of him that are in focus.   He ate moths, crickets and grasshoppers ... whatever I could find outside.   He lived a long time ... 12 years !    Every few months he would shed his skin (molting) and it would look like another whole tarantula was in the terrarium with him.  I rarely picked him up.
