nice.
I have about 12 large spiders/tarantulas in my room...lol
Yeah I noticed that you mentioned that elsewhere. It's astonishing that a 14yr old girl has any interest in big spiders, of all things. I can't believe your parents are even cool with that. :O No way would I stay in the same building with a tarantula. This comes from someone who sprays Raid around her window frames and door facings so spiders don't come in (and if they do, they don't live).

Do tarantulas make spider webs? No pictures please. I'm not doing a web search for just that reason. :)

I'm amazed a teenage girl's so cool with spiders too, and her parents.

My dad brought home a tarantula one day from the pet store and my mom hit the roof. LOL, it was funny. As for us kids, we were scared of it, but exhilarated by it, nonetheless.

I still don't like spiders. Or snakes. Or slugs.

Lizzards and frogs, though, love 'em!

around where I live we hve spiders that will take down people's dogs, there about the size of a dinner plate and weigh about 3 pounds.

the worst part is ther NOT NATIVE!!!!!!!!, some one illegaly brought a shipment in they escaped, took him out in his sleep and escaped, and though scarce, they make their presence known.

maybe not three puonds, but I have seen them when they get big, their webs catch small mamals all the time, but through most people in my neighbor hood killing them when they are small there is only a few that even survive to that size like maybe 4 or 5 a year.

The Sun newspaper is indeed a tabloid, the journalists in it are experts at telling stories with 90% truth, 10% lies, with the truth part reworded and exaggerated

for example if a movie star was in a nightclub and came out with a reporter quizzzing "have you been in there having all sorts of fun?" and the star replied "yeah right, whatever", then you could expect to see news the following day with reports of drug fuelled nights of partying going on and a really dodgy picture (just taken at the right moment)...after the star did say "yeah" in the affirmative

chances are this guy was found dead and bitten by apider being the likely cause, there was probably an animal or two scurrying round, and that was probably it, no more, no less....

I think you have the truth and lies percentage backwords :lipssealedsmilie:

Really though, none of the spiders, no snakes (They would have swallowed him whole or left him, that's their way), only SOME lizards (crocs, alligators, monitors, komodo dragons --- doubt he had any of them), not the termites, no way geckos (as was stated in the lizard part), etc. would have eaten him... Basically, he was bitten by a spider. Could be poisonous, could be a black widow, could have had an explosion in his house where somehow it blew up all the tanks and all the creatures were fine. Junk.
