My wife's friend got forbidden by her husband to come to our house since she got first pregnant... some people told my wife to get rid of my spiders, and they are even more shocked when they tell them that some actualy belong to her!

It's a trip how people act when you talk about your T's.The most common sentence I get is about people stepping on them.Step on mt tarantula,you'll have less teeth{D The problem with non tarantula keepers is no education on T's.I'm really tired of hearing about how people would kill my tarantulas.What if I killed their dog??;P

It's really suprising when they show up on an X-ray. I know many techs who have seen them.

Sometimes I give lectures to friends and others on my Ts. Some of the ones that I trust, I'll let handle my rosie. It hurts when they break my trust and say "If it bites me, I'll throw it"

That's when I promptly retrieve my T and kindly tell them to GTFO of my house :)

What I can't figure out is why you'd use a gerbil, when a nice H. lividum would actually appreciate the burrow! Bad visual. Think I'll go pour bleach in my eyes.

*screaming out of the kitchen*:

"You're standing next to what cage? S. Calceatum? Oh yeah, sure, just put your hand behind that cork bark and snatch it. This one is a people's T for sure!"

Never fails at a party! Although it sucks to drive them to ER afterwards...Well, you win some, you loose some...

i think it's terrible that some people can't just see that we care for our pets the same way they care for theirs. yeah, they're spiders. so what? i've never seen or heard of a tarantula attacking a child, ruining furniture or masturbating in public but people still regard dogs as being more legitimate pets than them.

I don't think it's so much 'disturbing' or 'shocking' as it is hypocritical. Have you by chance read the "Bill to Ban Our Hobby" thread? Pitbulllady made an excruciatingly honest point in that if we can't accept and appreciate other animals,creatures, life forms besides the ones WE personally like, you're part of the problem as well.

I realize this is kind of a joking thread but seriously, do you realize how hypocritical and un-necessary it is to justify the demise or harm upon another animal because someone doesn't agree with you on your choice of pet?

Some light reading if you haven't.
