[QUOTE="DewDrop, post: 61384, member: 4217"] Well, I am glad they can stay in their habitat and do not require the interaction a cat, dog or hook bill parrot does. The A. Avic has me wondering given they can cohabit with one another whether or not that is of any actual benefit to the spider for whatever reason. They all have their unique character traits that I notice anyway, that seems to just make them adorable. However they give plenty of space, do not demand attention and can look great in a habitat as a display animal. Perfect for me. Tarantulas seem so inquisitive and trusting, the reliance they give to us, the responsibility is like the only cuddle they have to give. They enrich our lives with the education they bring. My cat is a bed hog. I have had to reclaim blankets and pillows in a slight tug from her snoozing. I wake up and can find her sleeping on my stomach or even my shoulder sometimes. Usually she is right by my pillow. That is my cuddle bug. The silly orange cat. My husband has his grey cat who while she likes everyone else around here, claims him for her pet bed. So the tarantula would have it's hair full and a heck of a time trying to cuddle if it was so inclined, thankfully it is not, unless you stick your hands in it's environment, then they are inclined to take a wander. Even the Chilean now, just a spiderling, is really friendly. So a day cannot go by without checking up on the tarantulas, just looking in on them, and that is plenty of "snuggle" for them.
