spider species

my older brother picked up one of the biggest crockets i've ever seen and he through it on me.........*shudder*i can pic up the teeny ones,thats it.i had a cricket tank(about five gal) with about 30 or 40 crickets in it,well, i left the top open,in my room,i went to go to bed,and it was horrible.they were everywhere.
 
imagine one crawling up your back... it's little spikes peircing your skin... slowly wriggling it's way up... and then it goes. CREEE! CREEE! creeped out yet? :devil:
 
i cant find words to describe what i would do if there was a big cricket on my back.i think im going to be sick,yes,im horribly creeped out.i went in my basment once during the night to check my fish tank(i heard something crash)and i stepped onto a peice bread(only god knows how it got there)and as you may know crickets love bread.there was about five large crickets,i think this type is called 'camel back crickets'.they scare me more that a normale cricket.
 
dang.... they're huge! I think they might find my toad to be a good meal! glad we don't have them up here... (SHUDDER) and sorry for creeping you out so much... i'm sure people do it all the time, juding on where you live....

yea,i get freaked out quite a bit around here,the biggest camek back cricket i've seen was about this long -------------.thats the one my brother threw on me,some neighbores actually came out to make sure someone hadnt been murdered.
 
wow.... i'd shriek if someone threw one of those on me, too! they look like something my toad migh tlike to eat, though.... she'll eat anything that crawls.
 
i used to have a toad,he or she was about 3 " it live in a 55 gal terrarium with 4 anoles.i wish i had kept that tank,i wasnt interested in fish when i got rid of the tank for $30.i feel like an idiot. :duh:
 
I don't think you can keep anoles with a toad... a regular southern toad that you caught outside? fire bellied toads aren't really related too closely with bufonid toads... they're more aquatic and their skin is less warty.
 
I once found my cat playing with one of those giant crickets. They are disgusting.
