Reptile & Amphibian Forums

well as some of you know and some dont i have arachnophobia and i finally brought myself to hold my friends young pink to tarantula and did freak out

and also found this lil girly filled with baby spiders on her back trying to sneak into the house she scared the heck out of me. i got some cool macro shots of it but just havnt uploaded them yet so here is just a normal shot of her

Lastly i have been redoing a new iguana cage and it has been problems the whole way through, well it is finally done and the iguana is finally in her new home and lets just say it felt so good destroying the old cage lol such a stress reliever

Nice looking little red toe Tarantula. See, spider's aren't so bad. Interesting shot of the mother and her brood . I have known a few people who fear spiders and have to say you are overcoming your fear quite nicely. The friends I know wouldn't be comfortable in the same room as a spider, of any size.

oh trust me it was a LONG time in the making lol I use to be one of those where if it was in the same room etc i would run and scream like a little girl. Over the years i learned to over come that and as long as they stayed off of me it wasn't to bad but that mostly came about because i love camping and had to learn how to deal with it. I finally now was able to hold the tarantula and i must say that it looking cool sure did help lol

A few months ago i decided i needed to change and improve my life and since then i have gone on my first plane ride, moved to a different state, held a tarantula, and stopped a few bad habbits i have but will not discuss in this forum.
so far i think i am off to a good start on changing my life, gotta start somewhere and where better than the bottom and work your way up.

well since this girl is finally settled in and doing great i figured i would finally take a few quick pics and post them.

I need to find her a nice boyfriend one day, im really liking this girl she is very cautious and curious but still quite the "tame" lil girl but let me tell you once she smells food all bets are off lol bad vision and smell of food is a bad combo lol

I see you have remembered your training well - hyjacking your own thread!!

Cool pics and glad to see you working on overcoming your fears!!!
