"Today, I brought in an orange spider."
"That's glorious, David, now lets-"
"Here it is." He's holding it and the whole class screams really loudly.

sounds like show and tell third grade only it wasn't a P. murinus, but rather a B. smithi. most of the girls and half of the boys screamed. me.."oooooooo, lemmie see, can I hold it? where can I get one" after that it only took me eleven years to get my first T.

That T is going to be very big by the time he starts school. X-D

Gives new meaning to "Learning to run before you can walk."

Doesn't 'OBT' sometimes stand for 'Orange Bitey Thing'?

I mean, if your kid can handle it, great. I'm not about to knock anybody else's parenting. But those things have a reputation for being downright mean. And fast.

My G. rosea scares the crap out of me. I work on her cage with barbecue tongs and macgill forceps.

I'm actually very highly arachnophobic.

 

[Dyn]

My kid isnt born yet. There would be no handling of something like that till they are about 15 or 16 or so.

My friend knows how much I love spiders and had my eye on the obt that came in. Gave it to us during our baby shower saying it would be our baby's first tarantula. =P

 

[drdoody]

Ah. The more you know.

Still. I saw one of those things going full-on nuts one day every time anybody walked past it. I wanted to nuke the site from orbit. Just to be sure.

 

[Dyn]

Yea I had been looking into getting one anyway guess ill just have to share it with the kid
