[personal profile] holyschist inspired me to go out and take some macro shots this afternoon.

So, here's a wolf spider for you all.

You could buy wolf spiders for pets!

Or maybe other spiders that are not tarantulas?

I had a wolf spider I caught as a pet once and it was awesome. You can buy flightless fruit flies at PetCo to feed them!

If she reacts that badly to bites from small spiders with mild venom, I'd probably avoid spider pets in general. :-( That kind of sensitivity doesn't improve on exposure, and even without deliberate handling there's always the possibility.
