Tarantulas as pets?





Everyone has heard of this big, fuzzy kind of spider, but how many of you have let one crawl over your hand???  Not for the faint of heart...

During a rainstorm, the kids found this one crawling on our porch. Will enthusiastically collected it in a jar, and we brought it to Mark's place (our next door neighbor). Mark has a lot of experience with spiders and scorpions, it was a childhood hobby, so we took turns letting it crawl on our hands. Nobody got bitten, and we learned about their life history.


Thanks, Marc, for teaching us not to be afraid of big fuzzy spiders!
