How long has he been around? I wouldn't be able to kill him either...I'd likely lose some sleep just thinking about him, but I'd love to let him live out his days as long as he puts his shoes by the back door, wipes his feet before he comes in
Tarantulas may live for many years. Most species require 10 years to mature to adults. Females kept in captivity have been known to live more than 25 years and have survived on water alone for 2 1/2 years. Females continue to moult after reaching maturity and, therefore, are able to regenerate lost legs. Males live for only one year or less after maturity. A tarantula can be kept as a house pet. A terrarium (an empty aquarium) with a sandy bottom provides an ideal habitat. Tarantulas can be fed live crickets or other insects.
