I had a Mexican Red Leg Tarantula when I was a kid. Her name was Morticia. Nice spider. About as big as my hand. My brother had a Cinnamon Brown Tarantula. Her name was Ursala. Nasty bugger. Rear up and gnash her fangs at ya!

I know, right? Those guys are adorable! They're even cuter than Huntsmen!

Did I mention that I once had a pet Redback called Plop II?

We should probably just nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

NVM, found another source for this spider. Beautiful spider, colours are amazing, wow.
I personally love spiders, they have fascinated me for many years. I always treat them with much respect and courtesy when being close to them.
I don't harm them, if i happen to find one in my house, i attempt to trap it, being careful not to harm it and release it outside.
I don't understand how people can hurt or kill for pleasure such beautiful creatures. Bugs the hell out of me. Even moreso when it's for fun or stupid crap like that.

Same here mate. I even had a pet Redback once. And I'll never forget when my house had three Huntsmen lodging. The first one announced his presence by jumping on my Mum's head

A couple of weeks later, one was next to my head when I was trying to sleep
