I was exactly the same , just wait till the day you actually hold one!

Then you actually realize it's not so bad, then interesting and then you just got to get one!

Thanks Krissy!

They can bite, but with regular handling they are very docile

I understand! They way I looked at it was that the only way to get over it was to get one!

I actually have a friend who refuses to visit now that I have the spider!

We had an incident here where a woman had a heart attack after seeing a monitor.
