Oh my gosh *faints*. Spiders are my worst nightmare.
I admire anyone who could have one as a pet.

OMG! You let this thing run loose in your house???!! ~faints~ alongside of Terri.flickr.chic - I can't look anymore - my pulse is pounding and my palms are sweating at the thought! BUT... what great detail - every little hair - is it soft? looks soft...nice lighting - eeeeeeeeek... I'm outta here!
Furryscaly (64 months ago | reply)
lol, she's very soft. Her foot pads are really soft on your palm too, though they itch/ tickle on the backs of your arms (the hooks dig into your follicles).

Greaaaaaaaaaat.. why did I come back here? I could've gone all day without knowing about the itch/tickle when her hooks dig in! I don't even want to know about her teeth!... so don't tell me! LOL... I'm not coming back here again.. I'm not, I'm SO not!!
Furryscaly (64 months ago | reply)
Technically speaking they don't have teeth, they have chelicerae, aka "fangs" ; ) I'm sure they hurt like hell, but she's not one to bite...unless you're a cricket. Mmm, juicy...
