Not at all, it's just the way I reply to things, in order to reduce the chances of misunderstandings, but I guess in this case it didn't work, quite the contrary. I thank you for saying it out loud though, because usually people just assume that I'm out to get them or something. This is just my way of addressing everything you said in a manner that is most effective to me. That is I pick up on one point at a time, that I think you are trying to make, and then reply to it as I think is appropriate. Maybe I just made some mistakes in judging your intentions to cause a somewhat negative reaction?

And, no, baby tarantulas are terrible at finding food on their own. Young reptiles and amphibians also tend to need a little help at getting food too. I have a juvenile longtoe salamander right now, and it's eating thawed bloodworms from a pipette until I can give it live prey.

Then they must have really hard time in nature on their own, if they only accept live prey, but I guess there are more docile prey available than what you can buy or collect from your surroundings. I'm not much of a biologist, even though I have a kind of fascination towards certain types of animals, like spiders, snakes and lizards for example. I would really like to have a rainbow boa as a pet, but the ethics of keeping pets, and the costs are something that I can't overlook.
