I wonder if there is a limit on how many tarantulas one can have in their house.

8. When I was younger I wanted a pet snake

:crazy:

[Shakespeare]

12. Well, that's why I'm weird. I LOVE all the other creepy crawly critters.

Especially frogs. And lizards and snakes.

But spiders scare the living shit out of me, even little tiny ones.

9. You can never have too many tarantulas.

[KitchenWitch]

11. That is kind of what I am thinking

Get a ginormous aquarium and let them hang out!

:woohoo:

[Capn Sunshine]

20. words to live by

amen!

[lligrd]

10. I Had One And Cats

They were fine together. Actually, the tarantula rarely (but occasionally did) get loose. The tarantula was cool, feeding it crickets was not.

[KitchenWitch]

13. Yeah, that is the only detail that creeps me out.

I like crickets.

[Blaze Diem]

14. Not Tarants but SSScorpions ..2 in one week right in my living room,

and then the one that sent me into massive creep-down was the Black Widow in my freakin mailbox. One day after clearing out the 2 scorpion infestation.
I called in the pest control who said scorpions wouldn't bother him as much as the Black Widow.
Scorpions offer a painful sting but are only deadly to kids under age 5 or so. Not good for my 10 mo.old granddaughter.
Apparantly only one kind of scorpion in USA is deadly and they don't hang out in N. Texas.
The Black Widow, however, could certainly have done some damage.
That was a month ago. Haven't seen anything like it since.
Wierd.
I still get creeped out cuz of that.
If I found a damn Tarantula yet, I'd be packing and moving North where the winter freezes these critters out. (Except for the black Widow, I've seen them in Wyoming.

I get the heebie-jeebies over any tiny spider..so this was a bit much for me.

Tks for listening. (sigh)

[KitchenWitch]

15. EEEK

Scorpions creep the shit out of me.

Saw a tiny one in my daughter's schoolyard a couple of weeks ago...

:scared::scared::scared::scared::scared::scared::scared::scared::scared::scared:
:scared::scared::scared::scared::scared::scared::scared::scared::scared::scared:

And I think I would have to be psychiatrically detained if I saw a black widow spider.

But for some reason, unknown to me, I am not at all creeped out by tarantulas.

[Blaze Diem]

16. I think the size of Tarants is maybe why, they're more like a rodent..lol

Rodents probably don't bother you as much as silent, quick moving spideys with lots of creepy legs..

[KitchenWitch]

17. That could be.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

18. zero is the answer....

I am going to read your blog but first I have to watch a little tv. No not little as in a 12 inch TV...

[KitchenWitch]

19. ...

:)

[DarkTirade]

21. I had a friend who had numerous pets...

the only two that were fuzzy were rosehair tarantulas. :) Very laid-back creatures actually. Just feed 'em crickets and they'll be happy.

The rest of her pets were all of the scaly variety. Some with legs, some without. Oddly enough, I'd spoken to her on a reptile forum before without knowing it was her... until we met later on a dating site and found out she lived right down the street from me.

Never ended up dating, just became friends. Go figure. :)

[krispos42]

22. Zero

That is my limit. Anything above that I will quickly and without hesitation slam an engineering textbook on. Possibly two or three.

While screaming.

Get the kitten, and a laser pointer. Great fun!

[BreweryYardRat]

23. They're useful as bug control, but I wouldn't want 'em as pets.

I like pets that I can stroke while I'm reading/typing, and those hairs tarantulas have aren't for petting. They're an irritation-causing defense mechanism.

[Maraya1969]

24. I wish I hadn't seen that. eom

[mvccd1000]

25. They can be friendly... :)

We found this guy at work one day.

[huskerlaw]

26. AT WORK?!

You found THAT at WORK?!

Please tell me where you work so that I can make sure to NEVER, EVER go there.

:scared:

[mvccd1000]

28. Hahaha. Yes, at work, but...

... it was dead. I worked at a small facility in the middle of 5,000 acres of desert east of Phoenix; we had a lot of wildlife out there - coyotes, wild boars, jackrabbits, snakes, and (once) a big spider.

[huskerlaw]

27. OHMYGOD

NONE. None is the *only* answer to that question! :scared:

We need a smiley that completely freaks out and then runs away crying. That shivering dude does nothing to convey the depths of my horror.

[KitchenWitch]

29. I am sorry to have scared you.

:hug:

[huskerlaw]

31. Hahaha, well...

your post didn't, exactly...but...a real spider would!

[Gormy Cuss]

30. Why buy a tarantula when there are so many feral black widow spiders around ?

Besides, you don't want to know about the creepy tarantula mills.
:P
