Fascinating spider farm in Chile

Times dogs, cats, birds and small rodents as Pets come to the end. Increasingly, people have more exotic animals. Perfect for that candidate tarantula. Oddly enough, but the popularity of these arthropods with higher and higher every year.





A well-known rule: demand creates supply, so now we have whole farms that grow tarantulas. So, one of them was founded by Juan Carlos Orellana About in 2006 in the small town of Chile Batuko.





At the moment, for farm, home to more than five thousand Pets. Spiders have a relatively calm and peaceful character, with a rather intimidating size (the size of the adult ranges from 14 to 17 cm).





Males tarantulas do not live more than three years, while females can live until thirty-five years of age. These feed on arthropods mainly insects and small spiders.





On the farm the spiders were kept in special terrariums and are grown for export to Europe and Asia. In case of any danger to that calm spider can bite its master.
