Message: <blockquote data-quote="Grammostola in my heart" data-source="post: 28952" data-attributes="member: 3128">listen, i was a RAGING arachnophobe. if someone even mentioned "spider" i would quite literally run down to the end of my street. then i started researching spiders. and then i saw a tarantula feeding video. and from that moment on, it was nonstop tarantula research until i got my first t, a grammostola pulchripes. i was still terrified, but the curiosity won me over. i got it set up in an enclosure, and cared for it. i actually got an avicularia versicolor with the grammostola, but it died. i was devastated. and that was my revelation. i had actually CARED about a spider. a tarantula. and then, i got another. and another. and another. and another. i now have five t's and i love them all. if i can do it, you can too.</blockquote>
