Yeah, spiders creep me out. And bite.
I have 4 parrots, dog, indoor cat, horse and several stray kitties I care for (along with raccoons and currently a possum).

I LOVE all spiders but fiddle backs (brown recluse) even black widows get a pass (they do get moved though). I had a friend whose nephew and his mom lived with her that had a Rose, beautiful creature. They liked her okay in her terrarium but I was the only one who would hold her. She was a sweetie, I should have stuffed her in my shirt and run off with her though. I kept saying she needed a humid terrarium and they kept saying, "No, tarantulas are dessert spiders, she needs it very dry!"
A bad molt got her too as it wasn't humid enough here in the high plains dessert of Colorado...
I have secretly always wanted a huge jumping spider from the Amazon I could have on a leash. I love jumping spiders and wish I could keep them on my plants but our cats would eat them
Sue and I are tied!
As I type I have just gotten home from teaching and of course that means PAAAARTAAAAY!!!!! in catdom.
Dogs have masters, cats have staff...
I am definitely staff for our two cats, Romeo and Juliet.

I have 2 toy poodles and a chihuahua in the house. A lab and a rescued mixed dog outside. 4 adult cats and 3 kittens outside. And an umbrella cockatoo outside that loves to dance to backstreet boys and kid rock and says la-la-la-luv you. A deer named Kitty, a few raccoons, opossums and a skunk.

Thanks for tonights nightmares..........
So sorry, really.
Freaks me out so much
that I have this weird compulsion to share it. I thought a little OCD was the only thing wrong with me...apparently I need to go talk to someone about this new "trait".
And I thought an EARWORM was bad ..... I could have gone a lifetime without seeing that spider crawl out of the lady's mouth.
It's just wrong. And I know the visual is going to flash in my brain over and over.....unexpectedly popping up at the worst time.

I had a pink toed tarantula at one point, it was a really cool pet but man it could jump. One cool little creature.

I knew there was a hidden reason I liked you!
And you are absolutely right; they do require a humid environment - especially when they're molting. Ours did have a large, climate controlled terrarium.
Recluses and black widows are pretty, but bad business. You don't want to be bitten by a recluse. But if you leave them alone, they'll generally leave you alone.
As much as I love 'em, the only reason we had our Rose was as a rescue. My personal opinion is that tarantulas belong in the wild. It's unfair to have an animal like that as a pet (though I'm not sure she'd have lived 17 years in the wild).

Cockatoos are cool feather people! I've known a couple of them that lived with friends.
Cool!
After we adopted ours, I found out how much there was to learn about keeping them. It's not difficult, but a lot of info to know.
