Spiders and other bugs!

Lol, had the similar situation two days ago, although I new the theme was soon to be live and will be up there any moment. Was just deep into some reading when a big spider started crawling in the corner of my screen, so I jumped and made a funny scared sound :laugh: I hate insects and that's my usual reaction, but seeing one on the screeeen is :eek2::eek:

Happy Halloween :axeman:

Asked my partner how many tarantulas she has, as I don't keep track....expecting to hear 5 or so.

Nope!

Spider People all around me! :eek:
 
@Casinomeister

Now that im used to them, im having a blast clicking them away :p I have to say i like them more on their back at the bottom of my screen :p

Have a wonderful Halloween everyone!

I wish I would have saw this thread before I posted mine. I almost done the EXACT same thing. I freaked, coffee flew out of my mouth, I jumped out of my chair, grabbed can of raid then realized it was part of the forums and wanted to wring his neck lol

Oooo a woman after my own heart. What species does she have? Mine is a Mexican Red Knee - would have lots more but with a Bearded Dragon, snake and 3 hounds too, where would I put them?

I'm writing this as I ask her:

1 Avicularia Avicularia, 1 Brachypelma Emelia, 1 Brachypelma Hamorii, 1 Brachypelma Vagans, 1 Grammostola Porteri, 1 Grammostola Pulchripes, 1 Lasiodroa Parahibana, 1 Neo Hollothele Incei, 1 Nhandu Chromatus, 1 Pamphobeteus Sp-machalla, 1 Pterinopelma Sazmai, 1 Thrixopalma Pruriens

& finally 1 Pelinobious Muticus

And a scorpion, Hetero Metrus Longimanus

I really really think me asking her was a bad idea. My fingers ache :laugh:
 
My brother had has 2 untill he could not let them Inside the Terra, and then she bytes him in his Hand and then throw it through the Wall then is was only 1 left but thats 17years ago so rip Spider 1+2.

Brachypelma Hamorii is what I have, Mexican Red Knee but nice collection - when can I pop round for coffee and handle them all? :laugh:
 
@LadyJelena - look away now!

But as for @goatwack and @greylady
Ok...so you- or in your case, your lady, Goatie, - like spiders, so how about this one?

And yes, it really is as big as it looks. :D

It is a Huntsman, and lived in a shed somewhere in the outback somewhere, feasting on all manners of insects. As it had no natural predators in the shed, like Topsy, it just grew, and grew. And GREW.

Wow he really is big for a Huntsman!
 
Here's one for the collection, for all the non- spider fans :D

She is a beauty, but if she was sitting on my knee, I would be sitting on the loo, too scared to move, to crap, or even to live.

Had a huntsman on the back verandah just above the ironing board few months ago - nowhere near as big as Charlotte - but big enough for me to actually see it cleaning its fangs. Flipping heck it was big. Change of underwear time, and I didn't do any ironing for weeks. :eek:
 
I really don't understand people's phobia of spiders, look at the size of a majority of them in comparison to us and they don't bite or flick their hair unless really provoked, what is there to be scared of?

Mine nestles itself into my hair, scrabbles my hair into a nest and flakes with it's leg usually blocking my sight :laugh:
 
I can understand fear for badass Hunter spiders popping up in someone's laundry, or the fast, scuttling ones that just happen to be extremely venomous :eek2:

But on the whole, your average spider is nothing to jump onto the table over. I scoop them up and fling them out of the window half the time, even the Summer chunky ones that appear out of nowhere and tip their hat to you as they waltz across the base of your laptop :D

Tarantulas are mostly like domesticated pets, slow, bumbling and docile, absolutely nothing to fear. Of course there are species that are Old World and not so much for handling, flicking hairs and the like :laugh: but they're not really common amongst keepers. Your average new handler is likely to start on a Chilean Rose or the like, completely dopey :cool:
