Help friend keeps ridiculing tarantula owning.
So my friends a big animal lover, she even said she sees animals as people. But because she knows I’m getting a funnel web and tarantula specifically the Goliath Cooktown. She keeps saying they need a huge tank and even says the container it came in is too small….. not that long ago she expected me to get a 60cm-80cm long tank for a centipede. Not a giant species and the burrowing type. I’m just struggling to hold my tongue because when I do try to correct her she gets uptight and said well I see animals differently I see them as people. Also wants to attempt to bond with a funnel web even after I told her their incapable of bonding like we do. I’m worried when I get a funnel web it’ll be like walking on egg shells around her because anything I do she’ll ridicule even tho she’s never owned any arachnid but I have……. And they’ve lived for years till I had to rehome. I’m struggling hahaa I tell her to just do her research if she’s going to be opinionated about it but yeah haha does my head in and I need help to approach this because I’m struggling if I didn’t say it enough 😂
