Is it normal to think of a spider as a pet and talk to him and stuff?

There's a spider who lives in my bedroom and I love him. He's big and cute and awesome. Whenever I see him I talk to him like some people talk to their dogs. Is this normal?

    Not normal. But amusing, and not particularly dangerous so I'll let it slide. :)

    Hell to the no! He could be poisonous and plotting behind your back. Even worse, he could be related to Aragog! You need protection like Venus Flytrap or some other carnivorous plant (they're very endearing and make nice "pets") or some manmade weapons.

    Yeah, perfectly normal. I used to have a couple pet tarantulas

    People keep tarantulas as pets all the time. Just don't get careless & let him bite you.

    It's totally normal:) As long as, you know, you don't take it WAY WAy seriously ha. It sounds like you don't have any other pets, so maybe this means it's time for one?

    I have some spiders in my garage that you might like, maybe you could adopt them? ;) They're fuzzy, big but not cute--at least not to me! It's cool if you like spiders. They're some people who dress their dogs up and let them eat at the table and push them around in doggy strollers, so talking to a spider's not so strange to me.
