Hi there. I'm a migrant from the pede board, where I was observing in somewhat fearful fascination, but this is much more my speed since I never had a problem with spiders. In fact, I used to love to handle them when I was a child before my Mom talked me out of it. (She's a rampant arachnophobe.) Sitting here, and getting somewhat nostalgic about it, I was thinking I'd like to meet a fuzzy spider sometime, maybe even own one of the more handle-able species. Your stories have certainly taken a lot of the mystery out of the idea of owning a tarantula.
I think if I got one I'd like to raise it from a baby and gradually accustom myself to its increasing size. Despite my affinity for spiders, I don't know if I could handle a big one right away after being accustomed to only holding little ones the size of a nickel.
Anyway, I was browsing the Arachnopets classifieds, and I found the spider I would like to own. It's on this page - third from the top - a Brazilian Blue and Green Pinktoe. I've heard pinktoes were relatively placid, and the colours of this one are so magnificent, and green is my favourite colour.
Now all I have to do is convince my husband Ts are safe and it won't escape and poison the cat.
Oh, and find someone who will ship one of these pretties to Canada.
