Whoever said tarantulas don't make good pets? Here's two very old pictures of a kid with a tarantula on his head, and his sister being handed a tarantula on her arm by her other brother:

This by the way was a wild tarantula, the location a state park in east Texas. The little fellow shortly continued scurrying about his business after his encounter with giants. Don't try this in Australia, you might pick up a funnel web spider, very poisonous. I think they stay mostly in their 'funnel webs' tho.
