I was toying with the idea of getting a tarantula as a pet, but then thought better of it.

Man, this made me laugh. I knew spiders were bad news, but turning your friend onto heroin? That's really bad.
Seriously though, I have the same phobia. I cannot come anywhere near spiders. If a spider was to pass me the weights during a set, I would lose it just like you.
I am going to say that you will have to make your space "Spider-proof" or you will have to move the weights to a more suitable area!
What would happen if you were throwing the weights around and a spider scared you bad, so bad that you lost your form? You could be injured. I am not kidding.
No, I don't have any suggestions on how to spider-proof you wokout area, so I will leave that up to someone else. Ask in Tilted How-To, maybe...
And if a spider tries to tell you that heroin is a cool drug and everyone is doing it, JUST SAY NO.
