Message: <blockquote data-quote="Knitten" data-source="post: 157075" data-attributes="member: 29409">Another arachnaphone here. To the point of jumping on the couch, crying my eyes out and screaming like a pig. Then I met another arachnaphobe who tried to control her fear by learning as much about spiders as she could. I started seeing them in a differently and start taking macro shots of them. And talking to them, and putting spiders out of harms way. (Like, I actively let a spider climb on my hand now to put it somewhere safe). Still not comfy with anything that's super big, so that's gonna be fun when I get a T. Lol. Then one day, like, 3 to 6 months ago, I found Exotics Lair on youtube and I started watching his vids. And now... I'm researching, and really want to get a Dwarf T to get started. I'm a relatively tiny person, so big T's are still way to impressive haha.Thinking about a T bigger than the size of my hand... yeah, not comfy with that at all. But we'll see, really looking forward to when I feel like I've researched enough and will actually buy one...</blockquote>
