Cure the Addiction

i would yes. just to stop the addiction of ordering more when i don't have room for them 
I don't consider this an addiction though. It's a hobby and i enjoy raising the slings and watching them grow. Addiction is like cigarettes, you can't control it unless you concentrate and fight the withdrawals.
I haven't ordered a sling in a few weeks, and i'm fine

Only if it was temporary, for instance use it in winter but not in summer, that would cut the craving by half

Nope. Only because they bring me so much joy. Even the house/garden spiders make me smile. Another reason is because I am always learning something new with each genus/species, that I can pass on to those who are afraid and those who believe the false stereotypes. With this knowledge, I've been able to curb a few arachnophobes from killing one, to transporting it outside, where it has a fair shot to live.
But in all honesty, I can't give up watching their weird little behaviors.

Nope. This is one of the good things in my life, I'll be burdening someone with a plethora of spiders when I die. My legacy
Personally I'd swat them for suggesting it
Been going through some issues and tests, had a talk with my family about what to do with my spiders
if things went wrong ^*^ Have to consider them as most of them are going to outlive me
Surprisingly, my daughter (the phobe) Insisted that she would study and learn enough to keep them

@Kymura That's very brave of your daughter and tell her from me that she will get over her fear of them in time. I'm lucky my son is also a T lover so he would take care of mine.

Lol, if you suddenly took possession of my collection, your wife would leave you, wouldn't she?
lol...be interesting to find out. She is pretty nostalgic so if i told her it was my duty to take care of them for a close old friend, that would touch her heart! an booyyyaaa! lmao.Lol, if you suddenly took possession of my collection, your wife would leave you, wouldn't she?
I did, shes a doll, my only girl and a sweetheart. She watched my little avic attach herself to the tongs going after her cricket, gulped a couple times and said, "well, they are going to all have to have custom boxes, with a tiny door to drop their food in."
u get used to it. i used to jump a little everytime one made a move when i was in their enclosure. but now i am used to it.
I think its cute, I always remember to use my rubber coated tongs for her so she doesn't hurt her fangs
Meagan, (my baby girl) she just sort of shivered,she's come a long way though and actually likes my avics, I'm sure she'd keep them at least
the others can get parceled out between you guys
