So, um.

I may have gone out and bought a tarantula.

Its name is Toby.

Oh, and I got to hold a boa while I was there.

Also, the pet store guy tried to see if I wanted a big old black scorpion and words cannot describe how much NONONONO was involved there.

... yeah, and then I took a giant spider home, so where the hell do I get off?

Oh, wow, big hairy spider! I'm a bit 'not sure if want' at this end, but I'm really happy you have a new pet. (Toby Tarantula!) Do you ever get to know if Toby is male or female?

The guy who got Toby out of the cage was fairly knowledgeable about tarantulas -- from the sound of things, he's got a lot of them and a few snakes at home -- and he said he thought it was a female, but he wasn't making any guarantees.
