The Best Pet I Ever Had
September 17, 2008 7:59 am Just Random!
Growing up I had a lot of different pets. I had hamsters, gerbils (which got stepped on or eaten by the cats), cats, dogs, etc. But honestly, the best pet that I ever had was a pet tarantula.
Normally when I tell people this they think it’s gross or something, but it was honestly the coolest pet. I didn’t have to feed it very often. And when I did feed it we’d have a good time watching it hunt down and catch the crickets we gave it.
The other great thing about a tarantula is that they aren’t moody really. You’ll know if its ticked because they rear up on their hind legs, and mine never got into that position.
Also, they molt! I had a rose hair which is a brown spider with reddish longer hairs. But right after molting it’s black with reddish hair. It was so sweet looking after it molted!
So anyway, this was the best pet I ever had. My spider’s name was Lloth (after the Spider Queen from a series of books I was reading at the time). Too bad when I got married my wife didn’t like it too much….my spider died at my parents’ house

Oh man, I love rose hair tarantulas. I want another one so bad, but my wife is all about the cats, I got 3 of ‘em running around right now. At least I have my saltwater tank too which is pretty cool.

she was a great pet, until she peed on you. Oh wait, she never did it to you, just to me…..twice.

I used to work with those little furry guys, and my hands would get ithcy, so I had to wear gloves when handling them. They were pretty calm guys, didn’t mind me moving them around to clean their cages and feed them. But I never did have any interest in owning one for a pet.

it would be impossible for me to have a spider as a pet

Thats very risky, you have kept a spider as a pet what if it bites you when you hold it in your hands,

That is a pretty cool looking spider, I love the way the red hairs look like with the black.
