Looking for someone with a tarantula
I'm looking to be cured of my arachnophobia. While I could try and force my self to let daddy long leg's crawl over me, I know that's never gonna happen. So if I can do a tarantula, I figure I can do anything else.

I don't really know anything about tarantulas...But I'd prefer it if you had one that isn't poisonous? Haha.

Oh, and. No sadistic people please. If I ask you to take it off me, please take it off of me. XD

Thanks.

(I'd offer to pay for your services, but I don't really feel like paying someone for possibly making me crap myself. ;D)

lol, i used to have a tarantula...but my dad was too scared of it so he threw it out on our lawn, in the middle of february. btw tarantulas do bite, daddy long legs would probably be a safer bet

Nope. Petrified of daddy long legs.

I don't care about a bite, I care about getting poisoned.

(I already think that spiders lay eggs in your nose and ears and I'll wake up one day with a hoard of daddy long legs coming out of my mouth...)

Don't ask me why, I'd rather do a tarantula. XD

Is this a friend of yours...? or some random guy.
You think he'd help me? xD

Edit: Ah, he's a prof at Mac. So you actually think he'd help (or has he helped students in the past? haha)

I don't wanna annoy someone with such a childish request.

He's McMaster's bug guy. He's the instructional assistant for a bunch of Ecology courses. He let one of my friends bring his cockroaches to class for a presentation, so he's probably your best bet.

I don't think he's officially a professor. Most of my ecology friends just call him Marvin.

You could try Mr. Gunderman, but that sounds funny to me =p.

Marvin's great, he's a real cool guy, you can even just drop by his office and ask him. It's in LSB on the 1st floor by the elevators.
