I'd definitely go for a 5" P. audax with the lifespan of a female G. porteri though! Doesn't even have to talk! I'm not greedy.

Puh. That could be a bit exhausting for @basin79 to feed them on his arm. And a 5" P. audax ... when it jumps ... you need a VERY big enclosure for it ^^.

No. I wouldn't want to have such a spider. The size of the common species is more than enough for me :).

Go big or go home? Then Ungoliant. Read up on her she was definitely the most fierce and largest of all spiders. She almost defeated Morgoth(Sauron's Master) if not for the aid of the Balrogs.
One can't "own" Ungoliant or even Shelob. They are cunning and treacherous and are as likely to eat their masters as serve them. (The Great Spiders of Middle Earth are portrayed as unambiguously evil or at least only loyal to themselves.)

Things got nerdy real quick here lol but I'm a huge J.R.R. Tolkien fan.

Just knowing the nature of spiders is enough for me to refuse. Definitely not interested unless I wanna be turned into a giant bolus.
Ah man. I was going to use that.

In the books, I believe Hagrid raised Aragog on table scraps or something. So food wouldn't be an issue. Apparently it will go for a couple pounds of ground beef every few weeks.

I wouldn't want such a big talking spider. My sub-adult LP is talking to me, but only when I am the only person in the room. No-one believes me when I say that she can talk and they think I am crazy. Things got a bit better since I use medication. The talking stopped.
