I'm fine with little spiders. A friend who helps me clean my cages always comments on them... "all spider bites are poisonous. if a dog gets bitten, hair never grows there again. it's not good for the birds..." And I always tell her they get rid of the little meal bugs that I keep getting thanks to the bird food.
I don't like big, hairy spiders. Not phobic, I just wouldn't like to touch them.
