It probably had a family to provide for

no, no!!! Spiders are good! Spiders are our friends. They eat gnats and mosquitoes and flies.

Fair point, but they're scary as sh**

I had a pet spider (tarantula) named Spike. He would come when called and loved to be petted. My husband and I cried when he died. He was a special boy. Oh, and jumping spiders are so cute. They wear water droplets as hats.

Know I want a pet tarantula

You should. They are actually very friendly.

I'm pretty sure I had a baby one in my house and I may have squished it.
That Spike story makes me want to cry.
I'M SO SORRY. ;_;
