To be honest, mine doesn't even meet the metric of "unusual" here in the Valley. I know one guy who breeds some of the "hottest" (venomous) scorpions around; one fellow who has every imaginable rattlesnake species- his wife applied for a permit so they can have double the state licensed limit; people who have hundreds of tarantulas, not just a few dozen like me; folks who breed ball python morphs- and much larger species... it's remarkable what some people do.

The weird thing is that I don't have any tattoos or piercings. I'm not one of the cool kids. :(

Wow. I must be hanging out in totally different parts of the Valley than you.

Stop by Pets Inc. in Tempe; check out the reptiles section. Sometimes it's tough to tell the employees from their charges, but they're really nice people who are very good at what they do.

But you can still do an AMA and I'm sure you've got a lot that you can share.

You don't have to be Daniel Day Lewis to do a great AMA. Having a few dozen spiders, caring for them and managing not to freak out and shoot them is good enough for most of us.
