I used to breed them back when I was a teenager, had a couple hundred of them.

this was the main species I kept, (not my picture), most species are literal pet rocks that you throw a cricket to every 1/2 weeks and water sometimes, they don't care if you go on vacation for weeks and will be fine, figures that makes a good pet for the losers here right?

they're also good looking.

this is one of my favorites, and also the last species I kept.

many would argue that these aren't beginner species but I honestly don't think it matters that much, the difference between beginner and advanced species is that almost all beginner species are from the american continent and developed additional mechanisms to ward off predators, namely they throw hairs off their abdomen that irritate the skin and airways, the 'advanced' species are from the old world and will just bite you, they're not that venomous though, nobody really dies from tarantula bites, they're also not very keen on doing it and would rather run, which is another difference between the two, all the old world species are extremely fast, the new worlds are less twitchy and slower.

Tarantula hawks mog. The female Tarantula hawk stings the spider and paralyzes it and takes it back to its burrow. It then lays an egg on the paralyzed spider. When the egg hatches into a larva, the larva eats the spider.

mammals are classified as lobe finned fish under sarcopterygii, which makes dolphins re-evolved fish.

apes are also monkeys in cladistics.

you'd be correct, that is how modern taxonomy (cladistics) work, you never stop being what you were, so you are both human, an ape, a monkey, a tree shrew, a fish, and a tunicate.

I'm one step further into the weirdness and had dozens of books about insects, I had a crazy memory as a kid so I used to memorize entire encyclopedias about insects

Won't they bite? Don't they contain venom? I've always wanted to take care of a Tarantula or a Ball Python
 
getting a pet that u instinctively want to kill but u force urself to not kill it or even love it rewires your brain to become submissive and love your enemies.
 
OP thinks he's Shino Aburame :LOL:

they're not keen on biting they mostly just slap you with their legs or throw urticating hairs at you.

spiders are cowards that avoid anything that's bigger than they are.
