[QUOTE="MassExodus, post: 138671, member: 4086"] I've always said, handling tarantulas is purely for the humans benefit, the spider certainly gets nothing from it. I also think if you've never handled one, you can't really argue about it...you have no idea what it feels like, to hold a suprisingly heavy adult tarantula, to feel its claws as it moves, its weight and presence. We have other senses for a reason. :) Just sayin. Arguing from a philisophical standpoint isn't quite the same. Live a little ;) [/QUOTE]
