I'm just more bummed out than upset. When my P.regalis passed, I was definitely very dissapointed but I wasn't hysterical or anything.  My reaction was more like "Darn, I really liked that tarantula." I guess this might give off the impression that perhaps I don't care a whole lot for my tarantulas, which is false, however I just don't get emotionally attached to them the way a I do with cats or dogs or animals I'd consider true pets. I don't really consider my tarantulas my "pets", they're more just display animals I enjoy keeping because I find them interesting. If you disagree with me that's totally fine.</p></blockquote><p></p>
