Message: <blockquote data-quote="Spider-Matt" data-source="post: 41586" data-attributes="member: 3235">I love arachnids and have a tenderness for them more than anyone else I know.when my desert trantula received a wound on his knee I ran it to the gas station and bought super glue...then I sprinted to the girl I know that  is most experienced with spider first aid.I get very depressed and stressed if ts ever suffer an injury or death.spiders excite me so much that when I am around them I am NOT just a kid in the candy store I experience euphoria.I beat myself up a lot for my mistreatment of those baboon spiders but I keep the videos because people like to see them and that impressive defensive position where they stand erect.I cringe at what I have done in my past and how I have not respected my tarantulas by making a display of them before people for shock value.when I get the money I intend to move to Florida and breed new species of tarantulas that can survive in Florida and populate the place with them to keep the pests down.spiders are natural insecticide and they need to be respected and should never be killed.  other insecticides cause cancer yet spiders are the answer.kill a spider and you've decided you want thousands more flies and bad things in the world.</blockquote>
