I have always been interested in bugs and spiders. I enjoy walking around observing the spiders that lived in our garden. I also never really seen a tarantula either so I decided one day to search it on YouTube and got a slew of videos people with their pet Tarantulas. I then did a search on Tarantulas for sale and found that it was easy to come by tarantulas to be purchased. My fascination with spiders and a YouTube search which I discovered that quite a few people owned Ts is what inspired me to but a tarantula as I thought not many people I know can say. I own a pet tarantula.</blockquote>
