I think the main thing to get over is wanting to own and play with one more than wanting to run from it. I personally could never own one, but I admire people who do.
Hahaha. I feel the same way I am sooooo afraid of spiders, especially the big dangerous ones liek tarantulas or black widows. I remember as a kid being scared of going to the seaside because I read in some dusty old book that the seaside region is the region where you can find alot of black widows (mediterranean seaside that is, Croatia specifically  ). I guess you just have to be the type for it and pretty brave, I would be afraid to have it and go to sleep because I would think that its going to get out of its cage and bite me! The only reason I wouldnt be angry at getting bit by a spider if it was a radioactive spider who gave me superpowers and I became Spiderman . I have to say I envy the people who do have them a bit though, they look like really cool pets and seem great topics of conversation when you have guests
