Default Your input please!

Hi guys,

Im very new to the world of Spiders & Inverts although I have always been intregued by Tarantulas in particular.

I have been doing my reseach into keeping Tarantulas and I think im ready to own my first spider! Im thinking of starting basic like a G. Rosea or a P. Parvula Sub Adult.

One problem! The wife will not let me have one! We keep Bearded Dragons and she is very hands on with them which is great but I cannot for the life of me pursuade her to let my buy a T!

Im wondering if any of you guys had the same trouble and if so what blagging techniques can I use to win her over!

Any help is massively appreciated!!

Edited for realism:

As the man of the house, just demand that she allows you permission to have one. Please.

Just wait until she wants something, then use this against her.

That will soon teach her.
