For someone who's not as fond of spiders as I am, I do have to tell you that they're absolutely beautiful. I may end up having to get one now. O_O

Jamie, I feel the same way you do about T's and other spiders and arachnids. Looking at pictures is fine...admiring them in the zoo is fine. I always study them closely at herp shows and even held one once, to work on overcoming my fear of them. But I don't really want any in my house, nor do I quite understand why anyone else would either.

Trouble is...my husband feels the exact same way about snakes. He can look at pictures or see them at a zoo and admire the "engineering" that goes into making a snake such a unique animal. And I'll bet he even sees the beauty in them, although he'd never admit it. But he doesn't understand why I want(need??) to collect, keep, raise, breed them. The thought of having a houseful of snakes makes him just as uncomfortable as the thought of having a houseful of T's would make me.

That perspective makes it a lot easier for me to accept and respect my husband's point of view about snakes....even while I'm praying and hoping he does eventually come to accept and enjoy them more like I do.

i agree with you both... it can be hard to grasp why people 'want/collect/admire' the stuff they do... but what i love the most... is tolerance!

when people are tolerant of my tatoos, my Ts, my snakes, my frogs, my lizards, my husband, my spirituality, etc etc etc i find myself reflecting that tolerance back to others...

ah isn't it a wonderful addiction... whatever critter it is you are addicted to LOL

Absolutely. Everyone has their own things that they love and hate. Just don't bring the snakes to bed with you and im sure he'll be fine! :)

hahahahahahaha

My fiance doesnt mind having the snakes in bed. I have come home before and found her napping with our big BCI. She said it was all innocent, she still loved me, and it would never happen again so it was ok :)
