When I was a kid you could ask the grocer for a tarantula. They came in with the bananas. Now they are about 25 bucks at the pet shop. Casady |

I looked it up and banana spiders are huge, but not black or hairy. Tarantulas do not have a dangerous bite, while the banana spider can kill you. Casady |
