I don't mind tarantulas, but if I see a house spider an *unspeakable panic sets in*

[coffeepot]

We need to breed tarantulas to be dog sized..
Snuggling up to it in the bed, saying stuff like "good night tarantula"
and in response you just get demonic noises.
If only..

Sir I do not mean to alarm you, but there is a spider on your shoulder

After having my first beginner tarantula, I realised that (beginner tarantulas specifically), they were like cats. They can hiss at you, they can have attitude, sometimes they're down for attention, other time they're like no, all you really have to do is feed them, give them water, give them a place to live, and give them space when they want it xD

[toottootbleetbleet]

I just got myself a tarantula not long ago to get over my fear of spiders. Her name is Artemis and she’s a Mexican Red Knee. She’s awesome and I’ve even gotten the courage to hold her

[filthykolechian]

I normally hate spiders but I f-ing adore tarantulas.
Wtf is wrong with me?

[kathryndelacruz]

Lol I thought u were wearing cat ears in the thumbnail

[miss.scales]

My old Mexican Red Rump would always web while i held her :) she was super chill, unless she was hungry (then she was PSYCHO).
She helped a few of my friends get over their fears of them :)

Oof 5 reasons tarantulas are gr8:

1. They feel like cats when you pet them.
2. They’re an aesthetic
3. Cockroaches are the devil’s creatures and tarantulas will happily take care of your roach problem
4. They can climb walls and make it look normal.
5. Watching some of the more docile ones walk ever so slowly is the calmest thing.

There done. 👏🏻

I love how Tyler is an advocate for all animals! Not just "typical pets" like dogs, cats or fish. Thanks for being another reason for me to love animals Tyler! <3
