Tarantula Fun Facts #7: Domestication
Tarantulas aren't officially domesticated but pet tarantulas are bred selectively for certain traits like having more of a calm personality. Other than that, they are still wild creatures and some can get really feisty with their pet owners which is why most people aren't fit to own a tarantula since most people want their pets to be cuddled and played with. As any other arachnid, they don't do those kinds of things and that one of the activities that can be done is crawling over their owners carefully.
