    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.
