So there.

If any of you are currently considering owning either a tarantula or a scorpion.... these 4 forums are the absolute best places to get information on starting out.

I do plan on breeding some tarantulas/scorpions in the near-future.  C'mon folks, they are basically eight-legged hamsters for the most part. Just much more colorful.

I've always admired spiders, but I don't ever plan on owning them as pets.
I tend to stick to canines and felines. Although I think ferrets are awesome too. I think people should not be allowed to own monkeys and other such large, powerful, and wild animals. I think in most parts of the country it's still legal to own chimps, alligators, and other such unpredictable animals...

cheers,

Thanks for the links. Once I get my sink fixed and new tires/brakes on my car, then I'll have money for some amiable arthropods.
