A couple of weeks ago, the FIL is talking to my son about getting a tarantula for a pet. I told him if he brought that nasty $hit in my house, I'd be setting it on fire.

Call PETA on me, I don't care...but no way in h*ll is one going to share a house with me!
LOL....once you see it, and get used to it, you will see they are really quite beautiful creatures....I'd always encourage kids not to be scared and love any living creature....treat it with respect - ie. don't handle it, or annoy it, use tongs to do things in the tank, and it will be totally harmless, honestly !
If he is wanting to get a first Tarantula, best start of with a Grammostola Rosea, or Red colour form, as they are gentle, slow and hardy.....and virtually never bite - only if very mistreated, and are not deadly. After being used to that, then any Grammostola, or a Pink Toe, Mexican Red Knee....avoid the Asian species....and join a forum !
