Re: My spider pets
Spiders are cool and make great house pets because they eat all sorts of little undesirable bugs.
It's a good thing you don't have arachnophobia like my best friend Smokey. I found out the hard way that he HATED spiders--couldn't bear the thought of them.
It was about 5 days into a 100-mile backpack trip in southern Illinois. We arrived late one day in a camping area in a river bottom. It turned out to be a "bug-infested swamp" in Smokey's words. We had retired for the night, and when I got up to pee late in the night a full moon had illuminated the night. The moonlight created an array of bug silhouettes on the tent walls. When Smokey saw these he grew very agitated, and refused to leave the tent to empty his bladder. "I hate spiders!" he moaned and moaned. It was a long night for him.

Re: My spider pets
I have no problem with spiders unless they enter my personal space.
When I used to stay over at my dad's house, i'd have to sleep in the basement, and wolf spiders loved living down there. I found spiders in my bed several times. The worst was a spider that crawled into my mouth while sleeping. Something freaking in my mouth woke me up, i bit it instinctively, turned the light on and found the remnants of a wolf spider in my mouth. They do not taste very good.
But I like the spiders that hang out up in the corner of a room I rarely occupy and eat all the flies and stuff. Those dudes are a-ok in my book.
