Now this is gonna sound really strange... i have 3 tarantula's, amazing things to have... but i'm scared of house spiders & daddy longlegs! I think its cos house spiders are quite skittish, they move in a funny way, but i don't know what it is about daddy longlegs, i've been scared of them since a child. Tarantula's are quite big, are kept safe in a tank, they just seem less scary! How strange is that!
