#10 Goliath Bird-Eating Spider
This is the world's largest tarantula and can weigh up to 6oz! It has 1 inch long venomous fangs and as the name suggests is capable of ambushing and killing small birds. It also feasts on other insects, small lizards, rodents and even bats. Luckily, it's bite is painful but not deadly to humans.

How to set-up a Turtle Habitat
This is an article on how to set-up an aquatic turtle tank. All pictures included are of our tank!
1. The Tank
The tank can vary depending on the species of turtle chosen. Our turtles are map turtles (Graptemys) which are an aquatic species - meaning they naturally live in and/or around water. These turtles are strong swimmers and prefer deeper water, compared to musk turtles (Sternotherus) for example which prefer shallow water.
