Message: <blockquote data-quote="MichK" data-source="post: 28968" data-attributes="member: 2906">I have the exact opposite problem - I totally fear snakes yet I love and own spiders! So here are your answers: 1.. I have never been afraid of spiders2.  Ease of care and fascination3.  I believe they do exhibit personality.  I dont know about recognition of owner, though4.  My current favourites are avics.  I have a Avicularia Avicularia as well as a Avicularia Versicolor. 5.  I have not been bitten (yet)... But having read much information on forums have learnt that T venom is medically insignificant.  But dont quote me on that.  I am not an expert!6.  I dont feel qualified to pass any info on as facts just yet...7.  I find all 8 my T's extremely cute!  Snakes - not so much!8.  When I see a house spider I either leave it be or I move it outside, depending on type of spider and circumstances</blockquote>
