Tarantulas are pretty undemanding pets and in most cases are not as dangerous as many people believe. Some of the most popular ones are quite docile and as long as you are careful are not likely to hurt you. However, you must be very careful handling tarantulas as a fall from a short distance can seriously injure a tarantula. Some of the more common and suitable pet species include:
 -Chilean Rose
 -Costa Rican Zebra
 -Mexican Redknee
 -Mexican Redleg
 -Desert/Mexican Blonde
 -Curly Hair Tarantula
