My nieces always had snakes as pets when they were little. My brother drew the line at tarantulas. I have a weird family lol

Our kids were raised with ‘wild’ pets so it’s only natural that theirs do the same.

re-My brother drew the line at tarantulas...

A farm gal in college brought a tarantula to an English Comp class- for a demo speech—had it in a five gallon fish acquarium—since she could not have a regular pet that was her pet in the dorm. Interesting who cringed -mostly guys- and who did not. She said if you want it for a pet-go for the female as they outlive the male by several years. I have to admit it changed my outlook a bit on tarantulas in general. A bit.
