I seen her sitting by herself minding her own business so I grab my camera to get some video and pictures. We finish our photoshoot and I leave her be. Moments later the Quail came and ate her less than two minutes after. I would've moved her if I known the Quail would've done that. Now I know. Tarantulas really are cool and I love having them around. They don't cause any problems. Smeggie, LtLaszlo, major-mark63 and 1 other 2 2

No males. the stupid male chicks if the mama doesn't keep a close eye on them, they get lost, killed, eaten you name it and only the girls know to stay close to mama and daddy. One year I seen a trail of 20 chicks and the mama was keeping a close eye on these chicks half the size of these guys. The last chick in the line was a male and he tried to wonder off. Mama runs over to the chick, pins it down to the ground with her her claws and barks several times then lets it go. That kept them male chicks alive. I noticed here with I around and them use to me they're not so threatened and they tend to let their children do whatever they want and they die. Smeggie, LtLaszlo and major-mark63 3

I heard they taste like chicken? If you had told me they tasted like Quail I'd give one a try. Otherwise everything else out here tastes like chicken. hahahaha They are cool. I have video from last year one night I was drawing water from my outdoor tank and a tarantula came up to me while I was sitting on my rocks. I poor some water next to it and it bends down to drink it. That was a pretty cool experience. Soon after I seen a few more while hanging out at night and they were taking over the lizards nets under my cabin. I hung out with them that night getting good pictures and video. Cool spiders. I tried to find the pictures but looks like I have to get off my old ass broken screen phone. SSD died on my other computer where I had them. I can show you where it happened is all. Next to that big cow that rock next to it. Smeggie 1

These cows are tough for sure. My area it really don't get that hot but it does get dry. We get 1% humidity at times and then is when you need lots of water. We have some of the best weather in the country at my location. In Summer we are always 10 degrees or more cooler than Tucson. It only hit 99 once this year. If we have monsoon all Summer like it should it will be a very mild Summer again. When I first got here we were in the second year of a drought. It only got up to 106 and was hot only because I didn't have A/C or electricity at the time. That was hot and I kept my dog and I wet the with water the entire time. During that time I seen most of the cows go in the arroyo or wash were the temps are much batter due to so much shade. Finding shade in the desert is a huge challenge. At times you feel you just can't escape it. That's when I like hanging out were the danger is in the arroyo.

We had a good rain the other day and you see holes all over were critters come up so they don't drown. There is way more life in the desert than in any city is all I know. Check out this Colorado River frog. It came up to me while sitting outside in the morning by my cabin. They are the cutest dang frogs. You'll see a bunch of them come out of the arroyo sand material after it rains. LtLaszlo 1
