Why not?

Tarantulas are cool.

Yeah, how long will it be before the damn thing bites the kid and and she has to go the ER?

My first impulse would be to spray it with Raid, until the spider lost it’s footing and slipped off the cabinet and down to the floor. Keep spraying until it was as still as death or wet enough to sweep out doors into the backyard.

A friend of mine says tarantulas ‘aren’t really dangerous’.
Not sure if he was just kidding.
Not planning to find out first hand.

They are actually harmless. The movies gave them a bad reputation. I would be more worried about the black widows hiding out in the crawl spaces of everyone's home in California.

My brother in law had a pet tarantula. I’d look at it in its’ cage, but wouldn’t handle it myself.

See them occasionally on the road near my house, they make an ... interesting ... shadow near sunset.

Don’t care to see one in my house, but I suspect that the local gecko population discourages that sort of thing.

Incredible Journey remake: Two snakes and a tarantula find their way home. The snakes get stuck in a U-bend...

Maybe she can teach it to fetch.

Lots of tarantulas on Camp Pendleton. I remember jumping in fox holes and jumping back out. Fox holes on Pendleton are dangerous and it’s not because of the tarantulas. Rattlers and scorpions abound. Tarantulas just wonder around and say hi.
