She's been with me for 20 odd years, no way to know how old she was when I got her. She's named for the lead in "city of lost children" Miet is soo mello that I used to take her to elementary schools to show and tell, pulling her out of her terrarium to hold, hoping to quell some fears some had. Once while moving from Fresno to Santa Cruz, her terrarium had fallen in the back of the U-haul, turned on its side, and the lid popped off. When I got there I opened the door to discover her calmly sitting beside the upturned cage, haden't moved a foot.
Anyway, thanks STS!! However did you know? Heheh

Some species of tarantella (from the Americas ) can live upwards of 40 yrs. The black one with orange bits was prolly modeled off this Mexican species, which is very long lived (females that is).

I prolly spelled it wrong (phonetically), I know the movie is French. A friend told me the name means like "crumb".
Me-ett, sounds like "see it" with an M, kinda.

Thanks in advance for equipping your turkeys, doves and whatnot, my spiders are hungry.

That's the oldest living spider ever recorded and it lived 28 years. It's a bird eating tarantula.

I'm kinda freaked out by spiders, so I definitely won't be buying those vanity pets, lmao. *shudders*

[Chopper]

I'm freaked out at spending 400 plat on a gamble pack. **shudders**

Meh, the way I look at it was this:

"Hey, at least it's cheaper than Mitas!"

the orange knee is a bracheapelma species, and Wiki has that species listed 20-30 yrs. Miet is a grammostolla-
"Females have been known to live as long as 15–20 years, but due to the limited time they have been available on the market (and hence for extensive study) it is possible that they may live considerably longer than 20 " -from Wiki.
bird eater is a general term for many large tarantulas, and some orb weaver spiders (sometimes to Erving "magic" Johnston). the 40 yr comment came from the entomologist who gave her to me. He also taught me that this hobbie is a great way to scare off dates you bring home.

Still costs 50+ bucks to get it in most instances. I only like the exclusive one, and Granma, hate the others. Already have Granma so I'm not gonna blow all my plat to get it.

Oh, I am sure that they can live longer that 28 years but 28 is the oldest recorded age (I did not mean to challenge your 40 years statement, sorry if it seemed that way). The thing is, even if you have an 100 years old spider you got to be able to prove when it was born and died and that it wasn't swapped around for this to count so by no means the oldest spider that ever lived. ;)

No challenge tripped on. I'm such a nerd I want to know if my "data" is wrong!

Actually you got me to dig further and: The oldest spider, according to Guinness World Records, lived to be 49 years old. Some kind of Tarantula, I could not find more details...

I was wrong.

[Suentous PO]

Holy schmoly! 49 derm, I had no idea. Heheh.
Science rules.
That is all.
