They got rid of the rule a while back for some reason.

I agree that it should get brought back though. That's sure to inspire some deep conversation in here. Just like the parts of the forum with the rule!

Spiders, of course. He's been talking about them non stop for the last couple of days.

Tarantulas, more specifically for the new world bird eaters. I'm just quite excited about it all, so sorry for annoying everyone about it. I'm getting to see them in their natural habitat net week though so it should be interesting.

nooo i've definitely seen them being around more frequently. but maybe that's just me. Also half the reason why it shouldn't apply here is now gone.

tarantulas are great. and not just because they have my name in their name. and I hear they're pretty chill if you don't provoke them?? I mean many people keep 'em at pets and allow them to crawl on them and such. but idk Spiders.

I'm actually going to be researching them next year and I plan to emphasize in them in my masters thesis.

Mind you when I said the word 'birdeater' that's what their common names are. Most of them aren't even capable of catching a bird and mainly feed on small mammals, reptiles and insects.

As far as closeness, I'll be observing their behavior, breeding them, etc. but not handling. Tarantulas are like fish, a 'look don't touch' kind of animal. Not because of me being scared to be bitten, which I'm not, but for their safety. Their venom isn't strong enough to kill or put a human in grave danger (the species I'll be keeping it will be similar to a bee sting) so that's not a big thing, but I don't want to stress them out for my own pleasure. Every tarantula has their own attitude, some can be testy, defensive and some can be calm and the sweetest thing. But I still advise against handling them since they can be severely injured or die due to them falling off you or any other thing.

They're pretty different, their housing and temp/humidity requirements are sometimes very hard to recreate.
