Hey Damian, love the story! Keep us posted! My other half hated them at first and about a month ago she peeked in one of the blue fang cages and said "ohhh, she is cute!"
Sounds nice actuallyliving in the RV down by the river.
.
Where in the heck were you hiding them that she didn't find them sooner??
I'm wondering the same thing...How did you manage to hide them?
My Mrs is warming to my spiders. She hated the idea to start with, but now she quite likes them. She's even given a couple of them names!
* why do they name them for us my girl thinks that all the versi need really GIRLY names, she went w/ a rainbowbrite theme. one is named Rainbow brite, the others names are Starlight "the hourse" and the other is Skydancer. It bothers me but anything to get her more into it.
This is the one I used to get my wife involved.Quick, get her a young A. versicolor, always a great gateway drug!
I did to... See...P.S. You will notice, though, that no one said anything about the marriage being safe, everyone was glad I got to keep the Ts. So, you see, we are all of the same mind.
That is awesome! Congrats on still being married.. Since she now knows about them & is asking about them.. Get ready for the collection to grow..
Hopefully she will become intrested in them like we all are..
When I first met my wife neither of us were into arachnids - but we both were into reptiles. About the time I was getting interested in tarantulas she was getting involved with spiders. At the recent American Tarantula Society conference she was one of the lecturers, and she picked out some of the species of tarantulas I traded baby Ts for. As I type this she's in the next room trying to photograph a solpugid she caught last night. Our next planned "field trip" will be to a site where she found a banded form of the centipede Scolopendra heros arizonensis. When she recently found a few wandering baby Holotheles in the hallway, she thought it was cool. And she's become tolerant of Loxosceles spiders (brown recluse types) that turn up in the house. When I read here about people who have to sneak spiders into the house and worry about their spouses/parents/roommates going ballistic, I feel pretty lucky.Why cant I find a woman that like my critters?! Dang!
Y'all are all lucky..
