I'm thinking of getting a pet for myself, just for something I can do. I was thinking of getting a Tarantula, anybody have one as a pet? If so what kind of work do they need and how much attention do they need? I'm really not a big fan of spiders but maybe this one will cure my fear, I've actually kind of liked tarantula's but I need to do more research on them first. Or I was thinking of getting a snake, my friends hate snakes, I think I'm the only one that likes them.

So what kind of odd pets do you have? Yes I have a cat and I would be keeping my door closed.
