Can tarantulas grow attached to humans? (bodn with them) In other words, is it possible to identify you from one person to another? THANKS! :))))

Tarantulas or any arachnoid do not have emotions. they do not BOND with any one or any thing. Infact they probably only think about two things, feeding and breeding. Female tarantulas think about them in that order and males the reverse.
Females will always think of food first and the male about breeding first. That is why she is likely to eat the male after he has surprised her and mated before she knows what is going on.

Tarantulas are believed to pick up chemical cues with their pedipalps. They may become a bit more relaxed around the familiar "scent" of the hands of their keeper as opposed to a stranger.I've noticed this with my own tarantulas. I think that's the best you can hope for, we're not talking about an animal with alot of neurons!

if you want an exotic pet that scares people and shows affection for you get a bearded dragon or a savannah monitor, spiders don't cuddle

I don't know if they bond exactly.... but they definitely develop a taste for you. They will certainly want to be close to you, especially when you sleep but sometimes I question their motives. I wouldn't worry though. How much can one of those things eat after all......
P.S. Don't tell your mum about this. You know how mums worry. Actually...... they might develop a taste for her as well. hmmmmm...............
