[QUOTE="DustyD, post: 202917, member: 36911"] Welcome!!! I think you are already making strides in overcoming your fears. Do research, read up, watch videos. There is a great YouTube channel called Dave's Little Beasties, who is from the UK. He comes across as very knowledgeable and gentle. Maybe those who have overcome their spider fears can give better advice, but I am thinking start slow. Maybe have pictures of tarantulas and other spiders laying about here and there where you live. And later, what about a plastic tarantula to help you get used to their physical shape? Oh, and there are some spiders that give me the chills, usually ones with longer legs or stranger looking legs. For some reason most tarantulas don't bother me. [/QUOTE]
