Had a hose haired that I named Axl. Get it, Axl Rose?
Funny thing though was that I'm afraid of spiders. I don't know what made me get one. I'm obviously insane.
Only been bit once, felt like a bee sting. Having them crawl over you just feels insane. That and when they molt, the skin is perfect for leaving in places to scare the living daylights out of people.
Sadly don't know of a place in Calgary, but I got mine from Petland down here.
