    Totally! If you have one spider, it’s basically the same effort to care for like 5+ more, and even more than that isn’t much additional effort just becomes space.

    Even feeding them is like $3/mo and that’s with buying feeders at big box store.

    And the absolute best part about spider? Zero chance of dumping tens of gallons of water on the floor, or chewing up something valuable, or peeing on a pile of laundry. I guess you could get bitten but for the vast majority of tarantulas your have to stick your hand in front of their face and wiggle your fingers, and even then the majority would freak the fuck out and bolt for their safe place.

    Spiders are really the best low/no effort pet.
