Getting a new spider pet

If you are looking for a pet you can observe in his habitat, a spider may be the right choice for you. Spiders don’t cost too much to keep, but initially you’ll need to set up the right habitat. Spiders don’t need plenty of space and suit smaller accommodations like flats and townhouses. They are also quiet and won’t bother the neighbours.

Not all spiders make suitable pets, so do proper research before choosing a species. Consult with reputable breeders before you make any decision.

Some are more docile than others and can be safely handled. Check on permits or exclusions on certain species in your province or as part of municipal by-laws. Purchase your spider with a commitment to his lifelong care.
