No, a tarantula bite is not deadly. It typically causes mild symptoms such as localized pain, swelling, and redness, much like a bee sting.

 Yes, tarantulas can be kept as pets and are popular among exotic pet enthusiasts. They are relatively low-maintenance, but they do require a suitable habitat to thrive. This includes a terrarium with appropriate temperature, humidity, and hiding spots. Tarantulas also need a diet of insects, such as crickets or mealworms. While they are generally calm, they may become defensive if they feel threatened. It's important to handle them carefully and ensure they have a peaceful environment to live in.
