According to Patrick Stadille, spider specialist, humorist and science teacher at Carmel Middle School, Orb spiders are docile and make excellent outdoor pets! In his little book, Spiders in Your Neighborhood, you can learn much more about many kinds of spiders. He was, at one time, afraid of spiders but upon learning about them, he know allows the friendly ones to crawl on his arm...he likes to feel the silken dragline emanating from the spider! His book that he first published himself is now being published by Heyday Books in Berkeley! You can find it at Pilgrims Way Books in Carmel.
