Strange Pet

Two nights ago I went around a mates house to see his Son who is about to purchase a sound card for his PC and was not sure what to go for so Jim asked me to come around and have a look at his Sons PC, now Jim used to have a small Dog (quite old but friendly) unfortunately his Dog passed away ... I was invited in to the front room to see his new pet ..... THIS !!!! >



Its a Red-kneed-Tarantula and huge !!! frightened the life out of me (I don't like Spiders of any sort) needless to say I had a quick word with his Son and was out of there fast !

Were you producing "diamonds" out of the southern nether regions of your anatomy? LOL

Bloody right ! cant Imagen why he would want a thing like that !

I had an encounter once in my life with one of those. Even though it was in a glass aquarium, I still had a leery feeling about it.

I would rather hold a snake than be in the same room with one of those. Somehow I feel safer with a snake than a spider. Even if they are harmless they are still deadly around me. I would shoot anyone that brought one near me.

Never held a Snake ... and dont intend to

More on the Spider

Thats a good place for them.

I have what is probably a totally irrational fear of spiders. That thing scares me to death. Whenever a large one runs across the floor at home, I pull my legs straight up underneath me on the chair, and 'Er indoors has to put it outside.

Thats a good idea Steph is not bothered by Spiders ... Birds are her thing

...rarely fatal...

Knowing me, I'd be the 1 in a million to get bit and kick it. I'm cool around spiders and snakes but don't really like the 'slimy' creatures like snales and slugs...brrrrrr
