olgateaSome advantages of raising a pet spider are:
* Spiders are clean, quiet pets.
* Spiders require little living space. A terrarium can serve nicely as a pet spider habitat.
* Pet spiders can be fascinating to watch.
* Pet spiders require little or no socialization.
* A pet spider is far less expensive to maintain than a traditional pet such as a cat or a dog.
* You may be able to acquire a pet spider from within your local habitat.
* A pet spider, as is true of any pet, can serve as a valuable learning tool for a child of proper age, teaching responsibility (if the child must care for their pet spider) and perhaps sparking interest in nature and science.
