I got my 1st T. about two months ago. A G. Rosea. I adopted her from a friend who couldn’t take her into the dorms and no one else would take her. I have always been afraid of smaller spiders, the kind that can hid in your shoes and bed and if bitten take chunks out of flesh. *shivers* I had a big case of arachnophobia. Which has become manageable.
When I first took the Rosea home I could barely put my hand in the cage to change the water without getting a huge adrenalin surge. I still get nervous (because my rosea is a little psycho, docile by butt) but am able to do more now. And I don’t handle her too often...unless I have to.
I got into tarantulas by accident, started doing research because I was (and still am) clueless and am very glad I did. But people who play with wolf spiders and keep black widows, I think your nuts!
