I actually had a black spider as a pet. Quite big, At least like a 2Euros coin. Hairy too. I had it for a while. It had chosen a crack in the wood plankings in the corner of the small outside room where I have my sauna. Not far from where I hang my bathrobe. At my eyes level. Whenever I went there I could see its two front legs, its head and attentive eyes. He made little movements in and out while I talked to him nicely. This went on for quite a while, let's say months. Then one day, I got there. He was out, right in the middle of things. I invited it to go back so I could hang my robe. He just did not give a dam. So I took a paper towel, got it in and put the whole thing outside. Weather was balmy. After the sauna I checked and it was gone. Where I do not know. Never told this to the wife.

Lost my last good dog years ago and also my two last beautiful she cats. Details will never be disclosed. I do not want pets anymore, but my little one is sort of starting to desire a red fish in a bowl. So that is what we will have soon, probably. And I am quite confident that it will be the perfect pet until it lasts. We are already beginning to tell her that little fishes ... I think that it would be good for her to have a living creature to observe, care, to be worried, to be amused and eventually sad because of it.

Reminds me of the cockroach I had in my appartment in Tokyo. It was so big, I could actually see its poo, so I knew where it had been. Believe me, I did NOT want to know. But it was so big, I felt bad about just killing it. One day I took it and dropped it out of the balcony (I was on the 3rd floor). A few days later it was BACK

Memo to self: NEVER visit Florence - the Tokyo cockroach is probably on its way to wherever she's living now!

Once, in PuertoRico, I saw a cockroach, about the size of a package of cigarettes, trying to cross the road. It was dusk. It moved a couple of feet, saw a car coming, came back. Than it started all over again three or four times. When finally the road was safe, it hurried on the other side. Never saw it again.

It's not just one pet, but as many as you want (just add food and water after midnight).

Someone who came from the Philippines once told me that over there, cockroaches fly. Not only that, but they have an erratic flight, so when they are coming at you, it's hard to know which way to go to avoid them

isn't that where they catch them, glue fake jewels on them, tie a string to a leg and give them to kids?
