jedimasterben Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Holy shit, I was literally showing one of those to my sister earlier today. Someone started talking as soon as I pointed it out, and she put her hand on the same leaf it was on, and I was like WTF are you doing, I was trying to show you the friggin spider that you were just trying to pet!

jedimasterben Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I would have burned down my house, it could have it. Link to comment
Herptile Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I would have burned down my house, it could have it. I've also seen them in the garage a coupe of times. Some even have egg sacs with them. They're pretty timid actually. Wave your hand and they run off. Though I do think a bite from one would hurt like heck. Not sure about the venom level. Link to comment
Chris L Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Found this in the bathroom. http://s89.photobucket.com/user/toidiloof/media/Spiders/DSC08515.jpg.html'> Holy god!!! How big is it?? What kind?

Did anyone ever see the vid of someone i believe in australia that had a HUGE spider on the wall, they were wearing a helment and caught it in something when it jumped at them?? It's pretty big, I'd say around 6 inches or more diagonal leg span (give or take). I actually tried to get it to crawl on my hand (very carefully) but it was really too skittish. Link to comment

Someone started talking as soon as I pointed it out, and she put her hand on the same leaf it was on, and I was like WTF are you doing, I was trying to show you the friggin spider that you were just trying to pet! Haha, did she jump back real fast? The larger ones are pretty scary looking, its those spikey legs! It's pretty big, I'd say around 6 inches or more diagonal leg span (give or take). I actually tried to get it to crawl on my hand (very carefully) but it was really too skittish. You were going to try an hold that spider? You're braver than I am! Link to comment
Herptile Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 This one, I knew what to expect. They always run away. I draw the line on the really notorious ones. Link to comment

Lalani Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Awesome Ts and the pics are fantastic! Spouse didn't like spiders? Link to comment
eksblenny Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Some other bugs I had: I fed these to my animals: Awesome Ts and the pics are fantastic! Spouse didn't like spiders? No my wife actually doesn't mind (you can see her hand with the ring in one of the photos), but I also have snakes, geckos, fish tank, dog, and cat. We have a baby coming along so I had to get rid of something! Link to comment
Lalani Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Ah, just took a look at your photo threads, looks like you guys have your hands full with critters! Fantastic photos. Link to comment

buddythelion Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I absolutely love this thread! My friend is really into Ts and has gotten me less scared of them. It's crazy to think how colorful spiders can be and that we actually breed them. I might try one some day. I love his P metallica. She's so gorgeous. Link to comment

Acielot Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I have adopted a Spiny Orb Weaver (Gasteracantha cancriformis) and it currently resides in my vivarium. I'll snap some pics of it even though it usually hangs out upside down. Link to comment
Lalani Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 We love pics! Toni finally got around to webbing up her bark cave. Now she's been hiding in there the past few days.. probably going to molt again soon! http://s695.photobucket.com/user/Lalani7/media/GBB/IMG_5158_zpsb6c9d2d0.jpg.html'> The next day: http://s695.photobucket.com/user/Lalani7/media/GBB/IMG_5219_zpse190d742.jpg.html'> Link to comment
gulfsurfer101 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 That brown phillipine spider looks similar to the ones I find here in my garage. If you look underneath I'm willing to bet it h as a red hour glass on it's abdomen similar to the black widow. If so it's a brown widow, venomous but not as much, and much more timid than the black widow. The crazy disco ball eggsacs are a sure sign of them. Link to comment
Acielot Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 We love pics! http://s1311.photobucket.com/user/jamesb2012/media/a8644b99-4643-4203-b311-9c3211043e25_zpsdc5a45ec.jpg.html'> I had to edit a bit since the camera wasn't doing the colors any justice. I'll have to invest in a super camera like what the pro's have. Link to comment
