Most species of tarantula (in the U.S.) are safe. Of course, if they feel threatened, they'll shoot those little hairs at you. Don't breathe those little hairs. :->
I let my snakes and cats and birds crawl all over me ......... I can handle a tarantula. I don't like feeling uneasy around ANY animals ..............tarantulas are spiders ,but ,same thing i guess!
Yes.I had two as pets.They crawled all over the place.They were gentle and never did bite.One was black.I got it as a birthday present.Never really wanted it.I was only joking,but this friend went and bought me one.I'm so glad they can't be bought anymore.They dont belong in a cage or as a pet.The brown one I had I took only because it was being abused.Kids owned it and were very cruel.They pulled off three of his legs.They did grow back though.They would throw it around among other things.I took it and he was gentle.I'm glad I saved him.
I almost got one for a pet but my apartment building doesn't allow them so pissed about that. you can't have snakes or rats or even hamsters! only cats and dogs I mean really?
I myself would not let one crawl on me....Lol
