[QUOTE="CosbyArt, post: 311890, member: 8168"] Thanks [USER=9634]@Serle[/USER] hybrid or not she is great. :) Sorry to hear about the loss of your parrot, and lack of pet choices. My wife Melinda is the same with some species and I get the dreaded no, but thankfully is rather rare. Heck, she said no to any arachnids but I won her over very slowly with keeping a few jumpers in the house to sell to another MF member. Since that time I've had two local native species lay egg sacs that hatched. I released the spiderlings outdoors after they grew to the point I thought they would survive without problems (Phidippus audax and Herpyllus ecclesiasticus). There never has been a escape so she has really relaxed her fear of them. Anymore she checks in and asks how some of them are, and occasionally will come see them when I am doing some form of husbandry care. I can only imagine in time with the tarantulas long life's she will become attached to them even. :D [/QUOTE]
