I have severe snake phobia. I can't even watch them on television without immediately changing the channel or leaving the room.

How big are your snakes? Can you show some pics of them cause
I want to see them.

Tarantulas have as much poison as a bee sting. If you are not allergic to bee stings, a Taran bite won't kill you. One of the Tarantulas I had was a Brazilian Salmonhair. The natives in the rain forest take their shedded skins and make itching powder from it. They have hairs on their legs that causes an allergic reaction and makes you itch for hours. It is also the largest spider in the world. African trapdoor spiders are some of the most poisonous spiders in the world. They require a lot of experience to own. Most of what I had requires experience and responsibility. These are not creatures to have just to show off. I had mine for a an arachnid, poisonous insect, and antivenom study.

Maybe it's just me but, I just don't understand the attraction of this sort of companion. You can't take them out with you without starting a mass panic, they don't appear to be cuddly in nature, I'm sure they couldn't catch a tennis ball to save their lives...What is the attraction? (Am cringing as I type this...)
