They basically operate by responding to stimuli, just like your little house spider that runs around the floor, just a bigger version. Would you want to pet a cockroach, or a beetle? Do you think they would "like" it?.  Didn't think so...  However its still kind of fun that some folks call their spiders "sweetheart", and "darling".  Has anyone every kissed their tarantula?</p></blockquote><p></p>
