Snake Vs Tarantula

[Eightleggedfreak]

with this poll being in the reptile section , your going to get a higher volume of snake lovers than you are tarantula lovers , I keep several of both tarantulas and snakes , and i like them equally , so i had to vote in favour of T's on this occasion...
They do have an appeal about them and like snakes come in many diffrent character's , colours and sizes so theres definately something for everyone .
Hybrid snakes (man made)??? quite cool but not everyones cup of tea..
I think your poll is a bit biased and should have had the option for keepers of both at least ...that however is Just my opinion , i understand it's just a bit of fun for you personally..

Agreed.

Personally i keep both but prefer my spiders. Spider keepers been balls of titanium to deal with the more aggressive species. Unlike snakes if one bites you your going to be in agony for weeks if its asian.

Spiders are cheap and easy to keep but do require very specalist care if your going for anything that is on the advanced level. They also have more available with new species being discovered frequently.

I used to be terrified of tarantulas and spiders but it was really easy to get over. Considering you can get a chilie for £15 and a set up will cost you a tenner it will get you on your way of getting over the fears and loving tarantulas.
