Taste like chicken

cool rose hair, i have one named fluffy spiders are pretty cool, i keep several different types of animals, 1 ball python, 1 rose hair tarantula, 2 corn snakes, 1 dog, 2 cats, 1 5ft iguana, 3 ferrets, 5 rats, and a sugar glider.

that is gross!
gives me the creaps just to think about holding a spider, (MY ONLY PHOBIA) i tried to over come it my self at work a couple of years ago, started by handling a skin shed, then one day i came into work to find that one of the weekend staff hadnt secured the lid on one of the snake tanks properly, and sure enough one had got out...(luckily it was only a chilean rose) i was brave enough to pick up a carry box, lay it on its side and "poke" the spider into it via its abdomen staying calm the whole time. i then secured the lid put the spider back into its proper houseing....and then burst into tears in the middle of the shop floor! (luckily no one was around to see this)
needless to say, i no longer wanted to carry on trying to cure my phobia as this incident had literally set me back to the entire beginning.

you lot are well braver than i am

im not that afraid of spiders, i can pick them up. if there is a fast spider around that is bigger than a dime i get chills up and down my spine, if the spideys in a cage it doesnt bother me.
im not really afraid of tarantulas and i want one but the rest of my house is afraid(i need a new family) and told me to stick with snakes so ill just keep on getting more small snakes. until i move out then ill get a burmese a scrub and a tarantula, and ill never see my family again
