      When it’s the size of small coin. Never ventures more than a few inches from it’s burrow, in the wild. And gets all it’s meals delivered. I bet it doesn’t mind at all.

      In fact, I bet it has no fucking clue.

      Most tarantulas are ambush hunters. They build a web or burrow and, if there is enough food coming their way, they are totally happy with staying there indefinitely. Their average lifespan in captivity is also much higher than in the wild. They really don’t seem to mind.

      While this technically isn’t a tarantula, it’s a similar spider. Number 16. . It’s the oldest spider ever recorded and she lived her entire 43 year life in a single burrow.
