Meet Fang, she's a Brachypelma vagan tarantula. My friends are wondering why I'd rather get a spider for a pet instead of having a dog or a cat. Well, I actually don't know why, but I'm happy with my "Fang". I think all pets are cute and lovable no matter what they are:)

I have a cat. I was just watching a TV program about a girl who has a pigeon and it is a therapy pigeon. It has really helped here with her depression and anxiety. I also saw a boy with Down's Syndrome who has a therapy donkey.

I think pets are one of the best therapy ever. Owners and pets got a special connection that made them both feel happy and calm.

My kids would love Fang! I have always liked tarantulas but never got one . . . hmmm, maybe I should look into getting one . Is she easy to take care of?

Yeah very easy and very low maintenance. You don't need to get her to a pet salon for grooming:). Vagans are very gentle especially when you get them since they're still a baby. They will get used to your touch

@Raizki15 Are they sensitive to temperature? I know fish and birds are.

@much2say Not really, based on my experience:). My country is always warm but there's no problem at all.

I have Luna, my dog. I have the idea that only dogs are domestic.

Because dogs are the common ones and are actually tagged as "man's bestfriend" but all pets can be domestic, it depends on how we treat them. I like dogs too but after I lost the last dog i have, I promised not to get another one or else I'll be sad again:(

@Raizki15 Turtles are well behaved as they don't move much :) If you are happy, that is all that matters..

I just feel happy having my tarantula with me. I know it's unusual but I find it interesting and I'm happy with it:). By the way, I also got a red-eared turtle aside from my spider.

@Raizki15 Ahahaha! Well I guess in regards to small spiders, you can never really keep track of them, while a tarantula you'll pretty much always be able to see them? If I had to guess anyways. Or maybe it's cuz' in a way, they look a bit more like a mini stuffed animal? ahahahah Awwww that's really sad D: Yeah baby chicks are so fragile, the most I'd do is have it sleep in a box next to me or something. Our one indoor chicken, will sometimes jump on my bed to sleep with me though, but it's down by my feet, so the only thing she risks is getting accidentally kicked off with my feet, which she's big enough to handle. xD

@Raizki15 If you are happy with Fang it doesn't matter what pet you have. I have a cat named Sophie and she is very cool and cute and funny.

I think everybody have his/her own taste in regards pets, food, clothes etc otherwise Earth would be boring with people with the same taste.
