Hello everyone.

 

So my wife is not happy i have found a new pet addiction lol, I have had tarantulas and scorpions in the past but with two small boys (3 and almost 2) it was not wise to not keep them any more. For the past two years i have only had a cat and it bites them plenty when they get her tail. 

 

I found ant keeping through YouTube and AntsCanada and was instantly addicted.

You need to explain to your wife that losing the arachnids left a vacancy in your heart, and the hole requires Formica to fill it!

She was chill with my love of spiders till my black widow had babies and then my enclosure had hundred of little spiders running around it. after that i wasn't allowed to bring them home anymore. I don't know why, they all stayed in the enclosure.
