Whether it's Halloween or your name happens to be Peter Parker, these funny spider one-liners and spider puns are punny dad jokes even Spiderman will enjoy!
Do spiders (the largest order of arachnids) make good pets? We write about a lot of pets like geckos and macaws, but a pet tarantula may be the 'scariest' pet we've researched and this is mainly because I'm scared of spiders!
These 'pets' are slow-moving and must be treated with care. One expert moves their spider with long forceps! You must be careful and cautious as some spiders have fangs that can cause mechanical damage to your hand.
The Spruce Pets tells us that this species makes a superb pet, as its docile demeanor and low maintenance upkeep requires very little effort from its keeper.
Now that you're less scared of spiders, let's dive into spider puns. (Just wait for the punchlines!)
