I have two huntsman spiders, one very large, one small that I just grabbed recently - I believe they're a relative to the tarantula.
They don't sell them as pets, but they're quite common so I've made a few "sanctuaries" for them to live in.
They're not bad, generally if one enters your house it'll just run away from you and rarely approach people like some stupid outdoor breeds.
I can touch/hold the larger one without really aggravating it - he'll just crawl about on you. His abdomen feels like a soft furry marble.
HUGE scary-ass fangs, but they rarely attack people at all...relatively harmless if they do, they just kind've leave painful stab wounds.
I'll see if I can get some pics.
I plan to get different breeds if I can.
It's just a matter of association - a lot of people are dead scared of non-venomous snakes on account of the poisonous ones, humans are not often going to be harmed by what they fear.
