[QUOTE="Arachnoclown, post: 123437, member: 27444"] I know this is a old thead but wanted to share my experiences with pets. I have 4 cats and 2 dogs. They all are exposed to the Ts every day.(someone is always home) If we go out everyone is locked up in their kennels. I have a more than average collection of Ts. I have many Old world Ts down to T. Stirmi's larger than my wife's Chihuahua. I have all the larger species in exo terra enclosures with locks and my slings and juveniles are in containers with screw on lids I've made from Wal-Mart. The cats all watch the Large Ts walk around but that is all they do. It's like they know they don't want to mess with them. How ever i keep the slings up higher out of view just because they do get more excited with little guys. I do lock up the cats and dogs when I do transfers and deep cleanings. They only exception is Lucy my pitbull on feeding day. She has a fascination with my male T.stirmi watching him eat (hes at her viewing level). She sits there and watches him hunt and eat. She loves it. I would never refuse to keep a certain species because it may or may not kill one of my fury pets. I'm in control and it's my responsibility to make everyone safe and I trust me. Ive been doing this for over 35 years without a single escape or close call. The skies the limit...enjoy all your critters. [/QUOTE]
