Nevermind.

I'm kinda bummed it was kinda 'yard sized' instead of someting out of a 1950's bad sci fi film.

i'm sure you have plenty of Raid, though, Termy. You do, don't you?

Hilly, i'm glad those kind of gigantic alien spiders only exist in the movies. i'd have nightmares, sleep with the lights on kind of nightmares, for months if they were real, i think.

Very cool. I love spiders. They're beautiful, efficient creatures.

Now you see, I was thinking something along the lines of a chihuahua-sized tarantula, maybe.

I feel cheated.

I would never dream of giving Raid to my spiders. It's not good for their tumtum.

Efficient ? How cold. Actually they are "cute" until they get up to about 80 pounds.

Well we'll see how dominant you are when I send Boris over there. He's not quite eighty pounds yet but I've been feeding him well. He might hit eighty pounds by the time he gets done with you.

MWA HA AH AH AHA HA HA HA or whatever.

Dreamy....against my better judgement, I clicked on the link......and let out a big *phew* when it said it was only a couple of inches......that IS what it said, right? Maybe I'll go back and double check....can't be too careful about spiders!

Altho, I have to side with Heretic.....I was expecting something HA-YOOOOOOGE!

Something is wrong with that. I took it to a photo editor and zoomed in. Apparently you all missed the guy with the 25 foot tape measure standing there. He is about >.< that big and that spider is about >0< that big. The guy is easy to miss. Would be easier if the thing was still alive.

Anyway, Boris is almost packed and ready to go.
