Dang, you guys are nuts that own these things. I don't think I could sleep at night knowing one of those was in my house.

This any better? She's cute cuddly, smells like a swamp and likes to bite when she's in a beeatchy mood or hungry:
You wouldn't believe how many times I've heard that.
I bet. For me, it's cool enough that I know someone who owns spiders as big as my hand. I can stop by and have a look all I want.
So do they have any kind of odor?
-Mike
No odor whatsoever. Anything that may come from them would be if their tanks were very moist, the dampness would crate a smell over time maybe. Thankfully, all three of my spiders can handle very dry environments, so their tanks don't need to be kept damp, really.
Combined with the fact that, once they are of a decent size, they can go weeks to months without food, and depending on the spider, weeks without water, makes them a snap to take care of. Mine are all fed and watered regulalry, but if I want to leave for a few days or a week, I fill up the water dishes and go. My reptiles are the same way. The only animal that is a hassle to care for (especially if I want to go on vaction or whatnot) is my cat.
Definitely prefer the spiders in terms of convenience.

You really have problems with eating pets don't you?
well, nothing wrong with eating a little pussy (cat)from time to time.
I mean...I...oh nevermind
it's odd that tarantulas don't bother me at all, in fact I find them cool-looking, but put one of those other types of spiders near me - the bulbous-bodied, spindly-legged icky variety, and I scream like a little girl.
You said you wouldn't give it the chance to bite you cuz you never handle it, but in the pics, you're handling it.
