I'm Currently Feeling: | Yikes!!! That is so cool, but I could not have them in the house, I can't sleep if there is a house spider inside until DH has put it outside (way way way up the back!).
I use to have a pet snake though, children's python...Go figure! lol |

| Ooh I want a snake really bad, and Children's python is on my list of firsts! Was it a docile snake? And I know this is a silly question, but do they go to the bathroom alot? |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Lol - No not at all, about every 1-2 months, I don't know if all snakes are the same or not. Mine was very quiet, She would slither all over the computer desk while I was working (I had her while I was in University) - or she use to love to curl up in my top drawer of my desk if it was open. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Here are my cats!
The black and white one is called Byron and he is completely mad - he has a thing for biting through wires. He has destroyed so much stuff in our house. I think he could have been an international spy - he could have gone in and taken out a security network or alarm system in a couple of seconds flat! He is usually mad and wired!
The tabby is Custer - he is really chilled out and relaxed. He has the same mother as Byron but different fathers (hmm - I think his mum was a bit of a 'lady') and came from the same litter. Custer loves eating and strolling around our neighbourhood. He is so friendly - I think lots of other people feed him as well! | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | yeah, that last photo fo the spider's giving me shivers too...
My phobia is one thing I am worried about with kids...I know it's irrational and I don't want to pass it on as I know it's really stupid to be afraid of them but I can't help it. I actually wanted to apply to be on the show No Opportunity Wasted but by the time I heard about it, it was too late!  Oh well, maybe one of these days I'll get over it...just not sure when! It is interesting to learn about them. Very cool. |

I'm Currently Feeling: |  lol - been sat he reading and shuddering whilst sat on the chair!!
I have a phobia of spiders, cant stand being near them and your pics made me jump at first!!
But some of the tarantulas dont seem as scarey which is weird, i suppose as you say they dont run as fast as the normal house spiders.
such a stupid phobia it really is!  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I have arachnophobia too, can't stand them.. the photos were making me itch all over and I could have sworn I saw a spider run across my desk (I have a big problem with them, if I see a money spider I run away lol). I know they're your babies, so no offense.. but ahhh.
I have 2 pet cats, both living at my mums.
Sooty (my cat, the most affectionate one, she loves being cuddled, fiollows you everywhere and puts her head down for kisses. Shes a bit mad at me for moving out and having Bethanie though!):
Marmalade - She is shy, has always seemed a little nervous and doesn't like to be cuddled, apart from when shes hungry. She loves my brother:
though. Bit of a snob but cute:  |
