Default Never thought I'd see the day. . .

My super arachniphobic wife just asked me if she could have a spider (one of mine). So I have gave her a little B. smithi (Mexican redknee) sling. Atm it is only just under an inch. She is rehoming it as we speak (well over due anyway).

When I met her and she first came to my house I had to cover the T's I had in the livingroom with a bed sheet as she was sooooo scared. Then she watered my G. rosea (chili rose) a year later. Now this. I'm sooooo proud of her, and am really happy she has started to get over her fear of spiders.

You must be very proud of your wife.. that her interest in Ts has got the better of her.. and to want one of her own.
