      I figured some of the larger species have some basic emotions. My preying mantis could certainly let me know if she was irritated, though I never really saw a “happy” as much as “content.”

      My tarantula and I never managed to talk to one another.

        I don’t understand non-mammalian pets

        Why have a tarantula that you just look at, instead of a Golden retriever to goof off with?

          Por que no los dos?

          The golden retriever was named Tahereh.

          I also had mice, gerbils, guinea pigs, and cats. Parents had a nice farm.
