Yeah there are a lot of tarantulas that I'd like to have because they're beautiful or interesting but maybe one day...I know I couldn't get anything that was actually dangerous while living in an apartment building. I don't want to be responsible for someone getting hurt or worse. Before I got Thelma I had to show my mom several different articles and sources that said a Chilean Rosehair's bite would be about like a bee or wasp sting before she would let me get it. I did occasionally get allergic reactions to the hairs, but they always went away once I took Benedryl. That's the worst that ever happened.
