They are not poisonous, and they can be beneficial. However, a pet when I think of one is like a bird, dog, or cat. The good thing about a Daddy long leg spider is they eat pesky little insects.

most "wild" spiders like daddy long legs, garden spiders, jumpers... don't make good pets and don't do well in a house because eventually they encounter pesticides and other things that are harmful. If she wants a pet like that go to a pet store and buy a tarantula. Some are low-maintenance pets that can be kept in an aquarium/terrarium and are pretty cool. If that's something you want to do, make SURE you read up on proper care and buy from a reputable shop.

I have three Daddy long legs in my house, Elmer, Suzie and Grace. Elmer lives in a corner of the ceiling and wall in my bedroom; Suzie lives in another corner and Grace lives on my bathroom ceiling. Elmer used to live above my stove but he moved. I tap on the wall and wave at them to say Hi. I don t regard them as pets, more as room-mates/neighbors. My pets have fur and four legs.

Let him free plus he will die in captivity if you keep him locked up in a little cage
If you let him rome free in your house he will probably more that likely mate and then you will have a problem lot and lots of little spiders
so i suggest letting him go in your shed or out in a tree so he can happily live his life

Well you should always listen to your mom. See I exactly don't agree with that but, hey everybody has different opinions of pets.

daddy long legs need grass to breed so unless you can provide it with a lawn you better let it go.

It needs it's space. Just let him roam the house and do his thing.
