Would you keep a tarantula?

Anyone that knows me knows that I have a huge fear of spiders and that tarantulas are a no-go at all for me. I would never have one in my house and would hate to be in the same house as one even if they were in a tank.

I have in the past been in a pet shop where they had a tarantula and the minute I saw it, even though it was in the tank, I had to leave.

Would you ever keep a tarantula as a pet?

All the tarantula I've seen all look disgusting. There's a way their body or skin looks with hairs that's very difficult for me to stand. I can't keep them and I can't be in a house of anyone who keeps them because I might end up killing someone's pet when it touches me.

I wouldn't mind keeping tarantula. In fact, I wouldn't mind keeping any other kind of animal as pet with the exception to snakes. Snakes can never be a pet to me. I don't care if they are not poisonous.

This is one of the things I can not stand when it comes to tarantulas as well, the hair on them and then with the legs as well and the way they move, it makes me cringe and freeze.

I could never be anywhere near a tarantula.

Nah, I can't keep a tarantula. It might look lovely to others but I won't have the chance to come closer to them. There are some animals that I can't keep as pet no matter what.
