Makes since, they are both kind of a fringe pet. I just notice so many of my friends that also keep snakes keep spiders. I just never had the fascination for them that I do reptiles in general. Could be the whole camel spider thing while in Iraq :pOriginally Posted by JLC
I don't think there's anything to "get"....any more than we try to understand why someone who collects turtles might not be interested in collecting snakes, for instance. But we all enjoy hanging out with fellow herpers. While invertebrates are not "herps", they are very similar in that they are exotic, feared and misunderstood, easily kept as pets, come in an amazing variety of species, sizes, and colors, and are flat-out as fascinating as they are alien. All those similarities make them a perfect fit in our herping society...they only lack an internal skeleton, after all.
