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!

Nope I ain't skeered. I use to do work that required crawling under homes where there were plenty of the eight legged critters. I just gave them the clap if they got in the way of what I was doing (Termite treatment)
Then I pulled out the chemical weaponry and finished off all of them at once.

Love them. My room is always infested with them from may til oktober-november. Some even stay alive that long, to my great surprise.

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?

I tend to like spiders. I usually refrain from killing them when I can, but if I find one inside my home, I have to destroy it. Spiders do bite, and some of them quite nastily at that.
