A wolf spider surprised me when I opened the garbage in our garage, and I've been scared of them ever since. I was like 10 years old I think, if I remember correctly. A while back my daughter asked if she could get a tarantula for graduating high school, so I started watching videos on YouTube, etc, and three years later—not as a grad present(she's set to grad this year though)—I bought our first tarantula.A beautiful juvenile GBB. I'm trying to decide if I've gone crazy. *Haha* We have already had one enclosure blooper where she got stuck in a skull and I, despite my fear, put my hands inside to help her get out. It was a case of she was able to get in but not get out. I can't wait to keep learning more about them, especially GBBs.</blockquote>
