Message: <blockquote data-quote="DisgruntledOtter" data-source="post: 213101" data-attributes="member: 38554">I have 35 tarantulas, now. Plus a jumping spider. But I also have 11 zebra finches, 2 hedgehogs, 1 milksnake, 1 corn snake, 1 bearded dragon, 6 cats, 2 jack russells, 1 rat, and a 20 gallon fish tank with a couple black kuhli loaches, a mystery snail, and a betta. My excuse with the tarantulas is that they're one step up from caring for a pet rock. Most times I meet other keepers, they have well around 50-100. It's a large number compared to ppl who keep other pets, but I think it's the fascination with how different each species is, and how astronomically easy they are to care for. I'm arachnophobic, even, but it's me who keeps buying new species. 12 tarantulas is definitely not a whole lot. You're totally safe lol</blockquote>
