[QUOTE="Denny Dee, post: 29965, member: 1393"] I think there is always a way to hook 'em in. In my case, it was the displays. She loves them. So, I really spent some time making them look great. She is not a fan of what is inside of the enclosures although I think they are sloowwlly starting to grow on her. I started this all up by asking her permission for an emperor at a pet shop and I quietly accepted that as permission for the next 80 or so inverts ;). She did mention that I am now officially restricted to my spider room and they will not be expanding past that door. And I am running out of room. I believe the key is to appease an unsure spouse or live in is to ensure they NEVER escape the enclosures. For those that handle their inverts, you may want to restrict that to being away from your significant other as that probably will freak them out even more seeing them out in the open. Keep it hidden. Keep it safe. That is the primary reason I lock all of mine and use extreme caution at all times to ensure they don't escape especially during feeding. Don't want to push any issues that would cause grief over the food but I would love to start raising dubias as they are definitely an improvement over crickets but she draws the line on roaches in the house so I will respect her feelings on that and keep dealing with the cricket problems. I think she has been very surprised when the relatives come over and are drawn to the display. Some are freaked out and some are completely fascinated so she is getting more and more comfortable as time goes on with the whole thing. [/QUOTE]
