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.

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

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.
