[QUOTE="LauraS, post: 55121, member: 4163"] The curly hair (avatar) has already kicked hairs at me so I know he's a hair flicker, lol. I'll probably treat these guys the same way I treated my hermit crabs to be honest. They don't like to be held so I leave them alone unless I need to move them for cleaning or whatever. I treat them "like fish" to be watched but not handled. I've owned snakes for ten years and it was people's blind hate/fear of them that got me to take a look at my own blind fear of spiders. I can tell my perceptions on spiders has changed because I see pictures and think they are cute! I'm pretty sure I never thought that would happen. I also no longer get a fear response when I see a spider in the house. In the past I would block off whole rooms and sleep with the lights on because I saw one (and I couldn't get close enough to kill it because I was afraid of it so I'd just live in fear for days knowing it was there somewhere out of sight, lol.) Now I can let them live in the house and mind my own business. They eat the flies. I'm a work in progress but owning tarantulas is good for me. ;) [/QUOTE]
