Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nicolas C" data-source="post: 57792" data-attributes="member: 3795">I'm with Chubbs on this question. But in the same time I can recognize myself in the OP "Tarantulas make me happy" statement.I wish my tarantulas would be able to give me some kinds of bond, but I must admit that they are absolutely not thankful in any way when I'm giving them a fat juicy and lovingly fed roach... I do appreciate a lot their difference, as I do like my cats for other reasons (I must admit they are not thankful either... it's more like an interested relationship full of scheme!!!).That being said, I'm really fond of them tarantulas, have given them names (yes I have!), was almost crying when one died or when our first male left home for another female enclosure (ahhh....)... It's like a one way relationship: I consider them in my human ways and am building a bond, but they aren't in return. Help me to learn humility or something like that... But I really do wish they were able to sit on my shoulder waiting for a hug while I'm watching "Kingdom of the spiders" by the great late John Cardos.</blockquote>
