    *shudders* There should be a warning on this topic for the people who have arachnaphobia. :(
    It's weird...I've always been afraid of spiders, but tarantulas don't creep me out as much as the common house spider does. I don't know why...I mean, they still creep me out, and I'd probably never touch one, but yeah.

    Months ago when I first told my Mom I'm planning on getting a ball python, she said "NO WAY IN HELL ARE YOU BRINGING A SNAKE INTO THIS HOUSE. THEY'RE MY BIGGEST FEAR". I told her it's not fair that I can't keep a creature that I love in the house because some loser in high school threw a garden snake down her back. She said if I get a snake, she's getting a tarantula. I wouldn't mind if she got a tarantula. It'd be kinda cool. I might be able to get over my fear then. That, and there's nothing to fear. She wouldn't go near me with her tarantula when I have my snake with me. ;) It's ok now though, because over the past few months I did the right thing and slowly introduced her to the idea of keeping a snake in the house. My neighbours 12 year old son has a ball python and I told him to bring it over for a few minutes so my mom could see how harmless they really are. Then I was always talking about the husbandry of snakes and such...now she's used to the idea and the other day she was asking me questions about them. So looks like in 8 days I'm getting me a snakey. :)

    Anyway...wow I rambled on....a thousand apologies, lol.

    Cute tarantula...I guess, lol. They're not my ideal pet, but a lot of people say the same about snakes, huh? :lol:

    Very cool pictures, Raj. :) I'm a lot like Cody on this one...I have a hard time with spiders of any sort, but I do try very hard to keep an open mind, just like I expect/want people to do about snakes. And I can always appreciate a well-done photograph, even if the subject matter makes me squirmy! :p

    Yeah, when that frist pic loaded I freaked. I guess I have mild arachnaphobia. But the spider is cool! I just don't want to touch him. LOL!

    As long as that spider stays on the other side of Mississippi, I think I'm good. Very good shot, Raj, but no fair not telling us what was going to be in the post!

    I don't have a problem with spiders unless it's a black widow. You know, something about poison that can potentially kill you. But I'm even getting used to those, they're everywhere where I live. I just killed one in my garage yesterday. It's web was HUGE! I should have taken a picture. Oh well, luckily I haven't had any inside my house yet, although I had 3 inside my classroom this year.

    Anyway, I love tarantulas, they're so cute! Awesome pictures.
