My wife said no, I am so disappointed

I can only say I want NO spiders in my house...and especially not a tarantula. Oh my God!

i'm glad you asked her first. but like her, i would also say no.

I agree with your wife.

Don't be disappointed with your wife. Maybe she was afraid of this little thing.

i havent seen one around here for years now. then again, i havent really gone to the parts of the county where they are at.

Ohh I guess tarantula can't be keep as pet...

I don't blame her. I wouldn't want one either.

If your wife is uncomfortable with it around then you should forget about it.

My reaction would be the same as your wife's!

That is awful, I would never have a spider like that in the house so I am with her when she said NO! Spiders belong outside, they are not pets.

I really can't blame your wife. I would be terrified to have one of those in the house!

tarantulas, i think, are not right as pets because anything can happen. they may be considered wild arachnids.

What do you like about Tarantulas?

I'm afraid of spiders. I always found them creepy. When I was younger my brother used to really like spiders. He even did a report on spiders when he was in elementary school and had a close up picture of a tarantula that gave me the heebie jeebies and scared me so much I never went anywhere near where he laid his report. The thing that scares me the most about spiders are first their eyes and second the way that they move their legs. My brother used to bring spiders in the house and play with them, but then I think he ran into a poisonous one I believe because I remember my mother having to rush him to a hospital. I really became afraid of them after that. Alhough, when I was in I believe the 2nd grade I had a teacher who kept a tarantula and a gecko as a pet in the classroom. She would bring a live mouse to school and release the mouse into the tarantula cage or whatever it's called and we would watch it eat the mouse. I think she also kept a snake in the classroom if I'm not mistaken because I believe we got to see the snake and tarantula both eat a live mouse. We also got to see the tarantula shed. I thought it was interesting that she kept animals that either shed or like the gecko which loses it's tail.

Well its not easy to have one. It's dangerous so don't yield to it.

Why can't you go for some other animals or birds as pet. I don't know how you got interested with this creatures. I support your wife.

Well that's a dangerous pet...I would have said no too...After all safety first
