Cheri, the tarantulas weren't a huge hit in my house either, which is why I am the only one that feeds them, waters them, and on the rare occassion, handles them. Oh, and did I mention they are all in locking containers??? Worth it to have them though.

Wow, Luke, I can't even imagine 11 eggs, with 9 hatching!! Those poor parents-LOL! I really love the finches calls-very beautiful. Honestly, I am not a huge pet bird fan, but I do have a soft spot for finches. As for admission, I think $10 is a great starting point....plus $5 to hold the massive African Bullfrog, Gherkin, with a complimentary photo! I really sense a money making there......
