Tara the Tarantula provided loads of fun for my husband, who is an entomologist. Seems to be anatomically correct too! My cat, who is too sophisticated to play with most toys, suckered for it too — at first recoiling, then chasing it!

On the pictures, it looks so real, and because it was from an educational toy company, I expected it to look or move somewhat like a real tarantula. It’s about 4 times the size of the biggest tarantula I’ve seen. And it doesn’t crawl, it sorta rolls across the floor on wheels while the legs jerk. That is, if you have a floor smooth enough for the wheels to turn on…The nasty plastic hair smells toxic too…I was disappointed.

I got this as a gift for my father who has a cat and a small dog. It was a lot of fun to see the reaction from the animals. It’s also great for scaring people although it’s much too large to look real (9″ x 11″) and it has a loud, mechanical sound when it moves. Don’t expect a lot of fine control from the remote–you get “go straight forward” and “turn while backing up”. I only witnessed nipping from the dog and light pawing from the cat but I imagine this toy is not very durable. A rough child would destroy a couple of legs in less than 5 minutes. Note that batteries are NOT included and it requires 2 AA batteries for the remote and 2 AAA batteries for the spider.

I bought this spider to scare some people in my office. visually it’s great but as soon as you hit the button on the remote the motor makes too much noise. It’s pretty unrealistic as soon as it moves. I did manage to creep out a few of them……as long as it just sits there.

This was great fun and when I got everyone I could think off I passed it on to someone else who did the same and now a teacher is using it in her classroom.
