Tarantula's? You mean creepy crawly, yucky, climb upon the furniture and scream, tarantulas?

Cobby, when I get to Houston next year, please don't bring tarantula's if I get to meet you. A horny toad is nice, they only croak and give you warts, but I draw the line at (shudder) spiders and snakes, oh my!!!!!

LOL!
Hi, dixie!

When you come to Houston, we'd better get to meet!
I promise I won't present you with a tarantula.
They kind of disappear in the wintertime.
They are nice little animals, though, as long as you don't make 'em mad. If they jump at you, they're mad!

Horny toads don't croak, and they don't give you warts.
As a kid I used to sit one down in the middle of a red ant bed and watch as they ate every single ant!
Come to think of it, I kinda miss red ants, too!
