Tarantulas are the only spiders I like and, won't kill.

It kinda looks like the garden spiders I'd see in my mom's flower gardens.

That's fantastic! What a great ensemble for a kid's bedroom. Believe it or not, when I was a kid I painted a ladybug and a huge spider on my bedroom ceiling, then asked for forgiveness. REALLY unbelievably, I got it from Mom w/o her batting an eye. She thought it was kinda cute.

They probably don't eat anything larger than a cat or small baby.
