What Is Your Favorite Part About Kepping Arachnids?

[coolnweird]

Gosh there's so many things I love! I love watching my spiders bulldoze or web, I love watching them stalk prey, I love catching my reclusive species out and about. It really comes down to watching them perform natural behaviors within the tiny worlds I have constructed for them! Something as simple as a freshly rehoused spider choosing to build its house exactly where I thought it would can make my day. Don't even get me started on grooming and post molt stretching!!! Insanely adorable.

And of course I love the community on arachnoboards, and I love learning more and more about the animals I love so much. Love love love love, someone should get me a thesaurus

Showing them off to squeamish arachnophobes and talking about them when nobody asked.

... Especially, the part about my bf lol. He's terrified of spiders...
...and a crab spider my bf amazingly caught in the stockroom at his work in spite of his fear and dislike of spiders....

Oh, what we won't do... hope he at least got a steak for that one, LoL

He was compensated lol. I was actually shocked he was willing to catch it.
