I have an adult female chilean rose haired tarantula. She has a name, and I consider her to be a pet. I love her The other day, I was talking to another tarantula keeper and they told me that I'm an idiot, and that tarantulas are not pets, they are strictly specimens-part of a hobby. What do you guys think about this? Do most people consider them to be just 'specimens' and have no emotional attachment to them?
