I'm considering keeping it. Apparently they make docile pets. I have heard of them being native but never seen one until today. Well, last night. He was going after a juicy cricket when I scooped him up.

It'll be fun in the morning when you check the ice cream pail and he's not in there! WOOHOO!

WTF is an 'ice cream pail'? Some kind of special pail for ice cream?

Fucking Canadians.

Its perfectly harmless

Fuck that. :ak47: spiders

Where do you live?..thing looks huge

cool. very biggg

I live in the desert.

Did you give it a name?

Harry...

big one - turn him loose

What did you name him?

My dog eats them for breakfast!

I had one for a while. He would eat crickets, wax worms, and meal worms from the local pet shop.

Already did, fed him a cricket and turned him loose. The best part was putting him under a glass casserole on the dining room table and waiting for the missus' screams to wake me this morning.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

man imagine waking up in the middle of the night with him crawling on you.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

eeewww...that thing is creepy:ugone2far

that shit is fucking madness!

I don't know what I would do if I found one of those in my house. I hope that will never ever happen. :)

Same. Couldn't handle it. If I woke up or something with that thing on me I'd probably kill myself. Huge pussy when it comes to spiders and bugs.

oh... scary!

Good fro you :)

damn :Oh crap

Is it really harmless?

caught one once in puerto rico, they're everywhere out there, i just dug up one of the holes to get it, that one looks bigger than the one i got though

we were at my mother in laws in the woods visiting once and woke up to find this on our bed crawling towards us

from what we read they are pretty harmless, but regardless I screamed like a little girl

Find another one and let them fight.

the little bastard is probably hungry. You took them him away from his meal.

Ugh I hate spiders, but whats worse is centipedes.

It's a play on words.

You said you "scopped" him up. Scoop - Ice Cream.

It was a pretty lame stretch but I see where he was coming from.

That spider would have been tossed in the blender and those are the pics I would have posted on GFY.

Spiders are good!

No way dude -- and risk tarantula flavored margs?

I keep a seperate blender for disposing of pests.

He is big spider and i don't like spiders :( :(

You're a cruel cruel man lol:1orglaugh

Ok, I have a tarantulas in tucson story, if you wanna hear it, Jimmy. That was in 1999, and I was told they have a big migration every 5-10 years. So I guess this is the next one? If you want to see a shitload of them, try walking up the foothills behind the resort up off Skyline. There should be a bunch of them up there, if it is another migration.

if you stay calm nothing will happen. Spiders are pretty intelligent creatures.
They know they can't eat you so when they don't feel threatened they
won't attack you at all. :2 cents:

kill the cocksucker:ak47::BangBang::ak47:

im scared of spiders so I should get one to get over my fear
