She arrived this morning but we cant agree on a name.

This is her in all her beautiful glory.

and she will look a bit like this when fully grown

so far we have,-
Shá Tanya
Juanita
Princess Fá Nay Nay (this is my favourite)
Silvia
Irene
La Teefa (La Tarantula)
Fatima
Ingrid
Claudia
Alope
Bridget

She is a Chile Gold Burst or Paraplysa Parvula if that helps?

So what do you reckon?

Beardy.

someone told me the other day that Tarantula ( phonetic "taran shula") isn't the right name and that it should be "Trian toola". It was my gf's batty neighbour, but she's a scientific type. Is she right?

Beardy.

No That's your name 😀

Ian

You b*stard! I opened this thread expecting something – well, a lot less spidery, to be honest. Utter, utter, spider liking b*stard.

Fluffy

Shelob

Pook I've always said Trian-chula

should be Paraplysa parvula not Paraplysa Parvula

Thatcher

Ah If i knew he spelt it wrong I wouldn't have said Shelob. 🙄

That said Google says Paraphysa parvula

They can't seem to make up their minds on scientific tarantula names either. The P.parvula is also known as Euathlus Truculentus 😯

There is a flamenco dance called La Taranta from La Tarantela area.I think you are supposed to do the dance is you are bitten by a Tarantula, or sommat?

Can we have suggestions from the list please? We are having enough arguments as it is.

No That's your name

Well she does look like a little 8-legged version of me. You should get her some Immac, she'd probably scrub up nicely. 🙂

Is it just me? In case nobody noticed, it's a bloody f*cking spider. A SPIDER!!

latin names should be in italics or underlined.

Latin names or not, you'd still shit yourself if you found it in the bath.

latin names should be in italics or underlined.

Your going to have to explain me why?

Brian

Call it a spider.

Spiders are not pets, they are spiders.

Dogs, cats and goldfish are pets.

Roper – I've been standing on a chair and wailing like a Greek widow ever since opening this damned thread. If I find out where you live, I'll track you down and kill you like a dog in the street! Anything with more than two eyes or four legs is not a bloody pet, do you not see that?

My Cats' names: Kona and Bianchi 🙂

Can't see the pic but if it's got a beard as suggested above, how about "Marin"? 🙂

Cuddles?

Call it fruit.

Floss

Voodoo…looks like a voodoo doll to me!! 😉

Amazing markings!

Why latin names should be italicised

WOW! I read that I must be bored. Well given this is just a forum don't think it's really essential.

Nightmare

Edwina (curry)

Well I might be wrong but I don't think "Princess Fá Nay Nay" is a Latin name, so maybe we should pick that one. 🙂

arach "iraq" as in arachnophobia

Stella

dave,thats my default name for forgotten strangers names….but i did have a jack russel called dave…. nice arachnid!

It's not a spider, it's a spider-baby. The body of a spider, but the mind of a baby.

Boris or Essfer

Abdul – Looks like a Chile Rose to me
