i was petrified of spiders but i loved the look of them anyway i was p--sing my partner off so much he was getting on my nerves, so any way i just went out a bought 2 g,rosea and now i'm not scared. go out and do it the more you think about it the more time you have to talk your self out of it.

yep just get one! You never have to handle it if you don't want to. Its prob best not to handle, there very easily damaged. But you'll never get over your fear if you never involve yourself with them.

Take care

Your best bet would be to go to a petshop or to a tarantula collector near you and maybe jst sit in the room and talk. Look at some IN their tanks, maybe watch them being fed.

Yeah, I bought my T's coz I'm petrified of spiders. Really love T's now, but probably still be scared of a house spider. They're not the same ya know?

Actually, have only had one biggish house spider since getting my T's strange. Probably get loads now!
