You'd better watch out for this new experiment from Euclid's Pet Zapper v2. Don't get bitten!

uh, first off. NO i shouldn't. i can and will attempt to educate the fearful person, but if that doesn't change their opinion, i tried. Well, you *should* take offense at people who hate rats, because nobody has any good reason to. I take offense at anyone hating any sort of natural living thing, there's never an excuse for it!
And sorry but you were not "chased" by a spider. They are terrified of creatures as large as you, and in fact will only run towards you because they hope doing so will allow them to catch you off guard, pass by you, and hide before you can turn around. They have no desire to come into contact with you, as large mammals usually want to eat them - and your own human ancestors ate them all the time, too.
Second. you're right there is no "excuse" for my hatred of spiders. just straight up facts to why i dislike them. Mostly IN MY HOUSE. i LOVE garden spiders. but this pet thing looks like those evil giant jumping wolf spiders in my BF's basement. the ones you seem to magically know for SURE didn't "chase" me around the room and off the bed on multiple occasions.
I'm 21 fucking years old, fairly certain i know when some bastard with 8 fucking legs the size of a half dollar coin is CHASING me around a basement big enough for at least 10 SUV's to fit in and taunting me while i frantically climb a pole to get away and it just stay at the bottom until my boyfriend found me and killed it a half hour later. fuck you and "LOVE MY SPIDERS THEY'RE AWESOME AND ANY ONE WHO THINKS THEY'RE NOT IS WRONG" attitude. Really. please GTFO and leave us ALONE. We feel the way we do for a reason.

Ok, I had to came back and comment, because something about this spider looking pet won't leave me and I know why now..
It reminds me of this tarantula that chased me and my family one time when we went to see fireworks in the desert in California. I am still traumatized by that.

Going by comments, would now not be a good time to say that spiders freak me out even though the UK is severely lacking in any deadly ones? I just hate the things /shiver
Though this is pretty cute... but still too spider-like to want one. Ever.

@Bogleech - Calm the freak down man. I found it really childish that you were so upset about my fear that you had to smail me. Your saying these things will not change my opinion on them. I dislike them in my home, get over it.
There are spiders where I live that are deadly to humans and I have had one very close by. Phobias are normal, everybody has them for some reason or another. Your freaking out like this is quite rude. I dont go around to every person who hates my pet rats and say OMG WHY WHATS WRONG WITH YOU. So really...just dont be rude about it.

Fear happens for one of two reasons- a survival instinct, as a fear of predators, or a fear of the unknown, and that is a secondary survival instinct, because if you don't know what it is, it MIGHT be dangerous. Spiders are scary to alot of people because they are so alien, I think. They have extra legs, extra eyes, they can move really really fast for their eyes in comparison to humans, and we know their bites hurt like heck.

you know why * I * fucking hate spiders? BECAUSE ONES LIKE THIS HAVE CHASED ME AROUND MY BF'S BASEMENT AND UP A POLE.
Was it really fucking necessary to SMAIL ME with your love of spiders and " OMG THEY'RE SO CUTE AND LOVABLE NO ONE SHOULD NOT LIKE THEM" nonsense. REALLY NOW.
I know millions of people hate rats but i try not to take offense and pick out people saying they should never kill them or have any reason to hate dislike or fear them.

Just making a comparison; I find literally all living things beautiful, cool and adorable (I'm a huge fan of parasites, deep sea fish and arthropods, especially) but there's an "inelegance" to mammals, for me. They're goofier and messier, while reptiles and invertebrates have a cleaner, fancier air about them, more orderly and dignified :D
It's bizarre how people find the faces of spiders horrifying when they're so close to the faces of popularly "cute" mammals, with their dark wide eyes and puffy fuzzy mouthparts.
Scientists actually find that Arachnophobia is only common in a few countries, and dates back only centuries. It's completely unnatural!

Hey now, i DO adore spiders. I even encourage them to live in my house...i keep track of where many of them live and check on them every day and actually get worried when they are gone. And they are protected here - i make it very clear to guests that they are not allowed to harm them. BUT, there are some "sweaty, hairy, drooling, filthy mammals" i'm pretty crazy about too. :P

What is seriously wrong with people that everyone thinks spiders are so terrifying, ugly and gross? They're tiny, they're beneficial, virtually all of them are harmless and even the allegedly dangerous ones are exaggerated (you're actually almost guaranteed to survive a black widow bite. Sometimes there isn't even pain, and the last thing they want is to even bite you at all)
....Spiders are adorably precious, beautiful, wonderful, awesome animals that deserve nothing but respect and adoration. They certainly deserve it more than the sweaty, hairy, drooling, filthy mammals everyone heaps praise upon.

SERIOUSLY OMG. You have NO. IDEA. how long I have been waiting for a major pet site to come out with a proper spider pet. ;_; AND IT'S GOT SOME CROCODILE THROWN IN TOO OMG. Forget you guys, spiders are ADORABLE. Just look at jumping spiders, they've got big ol' round puppy dog eyes and everythiiinng.

Why does it have only 6 legs? :(
I love arachnids, but... I don't know why, I just don't like it. D:

I'm probably the biggest arachnophobe in the world, but I think this is adorable! Even though it only has 6 legs it is arachnid-like, but I want one!!!

The art is really impeccable, and I love this pet so much I'd probably be zapping for it already, except for one thing: the face buttocks. I know they're a spider thing, but to me, they look like buttocks, or maybe golden testicles. But yeah, my first reaction was to be thrilled, but as soon as my eyes reached the face all I could think was

I've always thought Subeta should have a spider-like pet but this fits in perfectly! Love how it's mixed with a crocodile like reptile as well. Very unique! :D

The art is AMAZING but the creature itself is kind of scary omg ): I think it's the eyes/mouth and all of those little legs... but I'm sure a lot of users will make interesting characters out of this pet!

I shuddered when I saw this so, but then again I'm afraid of spiders and that brought it to the fore.
Nevertheless, the art is awesome.

Oh my god, that's adorable! <3
I love the colour combination, and also the general fact that it's a daintily yet awkwardly moving TARANTULIZARD. That's a rather unique combination.

The art makes this experiment look absolutely adorable, but I can only imagine it would be very SCARY if it were a real mutation.
Kudos to the artist for a wonderful job. This is absolutely PERFECT for one of my characters! xD
