for me Spiders I absolutely adore spiders I find them to be really cute
and they are also very helpful lil guys,

I don't mind that people are scared of them since we all have fears and fear
of spiders in common though not human instinct, it's a taught fear, I however
can't stand it when people use their fear as an excuse to say that all spiders should
die just because they have a phobia of them, and it's even worse when so many people
agree with them. no just no, just because you're scared of an animal does not mean that animal shoulddie, Heck if someone who had a fear of dogs and they said they wanted all of them to die they would be attacked, so why is it okay for people to say spiders should all die, just because they are small and on the creepy side does not mean they don't need to be respected

also like I said they are really helpful and we need them sure they are small but they do
a lot by eating and catching the other bugs that can give us diseases.


my absolute fave spider is the jumping spiders species not only they are
are really cute but..

"Jumping spiders can be very enjoyable pets. They are one of the most intelligent spiders on the planet and they will love interacting with you. You will find that individual spiders have their own personalities. Some are shy and skittish. Others are more calm and just observe you. They are also one of the friendliest types of spiders, so you don’t need to worry much about being bitten, as long as you handle them gently"

random fact: while most spiders have venom a lot of them have venom that is completely harmless to
humans though I don't recommend trying to handle a spider unless you know the species very well and are good and identifying them​

I'm 100% with you on the spiders. Its funny, a lot of people are scared of them even though a lot of them won't even kill you but everyone loves lions even though there's a syringe chance one of them would kill you. Everyone says spiders are ugly but when you see close up pictures of their faces they always look so scared which I think makes them look adorable.
When I move out I wanna get a turantula.
 
ugh spiders are literally disgusting they don't even scare me they just repulse me

i really like snakes? some people find them scary idk why they're so adorable even the big ones are awesome
 
Axolotl.

same here c:
though the fact that they are Critically endangered makes me
me hesitant to get one, since I don't really feel all that comfy having an animal
that is close to being extinct in the wild as a pet, maybe some day if their population increases
and they are no longer considered endangered then I'd be okay with getting one.

Axies are also very BAMFs not only they can regenerate lost limbs
some have even repaired parts of their brain​


I think the thing in your signature is really cute

Is it an axolotl?

why yes it is <3​

I agree on spiders. Especially jumping spiders. Like this one:

Look at his face!

Also sharks. Sharks are awesome.
 
Look up the cobalt blue turantula. I dunno how anyone can look at it and still say they're ugly. Most beautiful tarantula I've seen.

I must admit though. One spider I do not and will never like is the camel spider. I think that's because it doesn't even look like a spider but some weird bug.
 
I love rats, especially the ones at the shelter I volunteer at - some of them like to climb on your shoulders and sit there as you walk around. <3 People tend to react negatively when I tell them I like to play with rats - I know rats are usually associated with diseases and stuff, but these guys are just pets, born and raised in human captivity. They're usually very sweet. And they love sunflower seeds.

Or the peacock spiders.
Camel spiders are just weird. Also they don't look like spiders because they aren't spiders, but they are arachnids so very closely related to them.

Just remembered: giant isopods. They're essentially just giant marine woodlice, but people don't tend to like them.

it's actually tech not a spider it's part of the arachnid family but not a true spider despite the name
sort of like how species like scorpions harvest-men and ticks and mites are also arachnids but also not considered spiders 0w0
the camel spiders also known as the Wind scorpions are more closely related to pseudoscorpions​

Yeah. Someone else just let me know that too. XD
 
All the bush vipers look pretty awesome. I have a series of snake photos as my laptop background, and there are a couple of pictures of them in there. The Mount Kenya bush viper is probably my favourite.

Oo, someone mentioned pseudoscorpions. My favourite arachnids!

Tazmanian Devils interest me because they're cute, and they're a mixture of a bear and a rat (from what I've seen from pictures)

Whilst they look it, they are in fact marsupials. Also, it's like wolverines. Cute, but extremely vicious.
