metrokat Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 You would hate what I bring home then. : ( One is my garage pet because my fiance refuses to let me keep it in the house, the other I keep in the screen porch. Would keep him in the house, but no good windows to have him make a web in. Just gave him a cricket I am sure you can guess which one stays in the garage...... HOLY CRAP! A couple years ago, I was moving a few wood pallets in our garage and got bit by a good size spider. Not sure what kind, it ran away quickly. My whole hand swelled up! freaked me out. Like I wasn't scared enough of spiders So, like, you're spiderchick now? Link to comment

FlowerMama Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I have black widows right outside the front off the porch. I never realized they were such tiny things. In NC we also have those huge spiders that are brown, and they make web tunnels. Link to comment
