Default Snake Vs Tarantula

I Own 1 Jungle Corn Snake , If You Look On My Profile You'll See Its Awesome

I Think Snakes Are Gorgeous And Fantastic

But Since I Was Little I Hated Spiders , I Just Wondered Why People Like Tarantulas And What They See In Them?


What Do You Prefer?

Snakes?

Or

Tarantulas ?

i don't like spiders but they are quite interesting i don't mind reading about them or watching them on telly but would never get one as would not be fair to have an animal i would be to scared off to give it the care it needed.
I used to be scared of snakes but not in the same way as spiders and i do get a buzz from holding my snakes or just being around them kind of like you would on a fun fair ride or a fast car or bike its fun to do things that scare you a bit

Love tarantulas, there's so many species to choose from, they don't need a great deal of space and they cost less to buy and feed.
It's great to watch them build webs, moult and hunt, they often redecorate their tanks too, which is fun to watch

I had to vote snake, but it's close.

Spiders are awesome. They are so different, almost like they are from a different planet. They are a little cheaper to run if you have a lot, but a single spider would be quite expensive in heat and crix. They don't take up much space so you can have loads.

Snakes are cool but... Tarantulas are WOW!
Earlier tonight I fed my 1" baby Nhandu Chromatus, 2 crickets went down the burrow and were grabbed immediately, it then came up the burrow (with the crickets in its gob) and sat at the entrance, there was a cricket about 1cm away and it KNEW it. It just sat there til the cricket moved then... POW!
It then wrapped the crickets up in a web on the ground for later, I accidentally disturbed it at this point an it grabbed its goody bag and zoomed back down the burrow.
And I have pics of that all! And one of it reversing up its burrow with a mouthful of substrate when it was building its new extension
My Nhandu is teh AWESOME!
And avic will leap and catch a cricket in the air! Then it throws the remains away like a basketball when its done.

I have a snake, an adult male BCI. I do like him but he mainly sleeps and granted he does still re-kill the (defrosted) rats I feed him but its just not the same!

Spiders are exciting!
But then I suppose whichever animal you are more passionate about will seem exciting

My Nhandu, Digger
"guess what happens next?"
