just joking by the way on my last coment as i saw this show on spiders and it said all female spiders wil kill the male after mating with them and i felt so sorry for the male spiders i liked the spiders in shsrlets web i read the book to my son and we saw the cartoon to the book

my mate who lives in the blue mountains in katoomba has a hunsman as a pet and he lets the hunsman do as it pleases whats funny when people come over to visit him they freak out when they see this big hunsman on the wal or crawling above their heads on the roof one day the hunsman deicded to place its self on another friends shoulder they wear drinking all day went out to the local came home and he was sort of dozzing of until he felt something on his shoulder we cracked up as we wear watching the hunsman do this and i am thinking to my self bud you are going to lose your beloved pet if this guy hits it with his hand we could not stop cracking up as the hunsman just began to walk he went from the shoulder to his head and then from his head back to his shoulder until he felt something and woke up screaming

there was nothing intentional ment about my joke i just feel sorry for the male spiders and my mate stil has the hunsman to this day he feeds it on the flys he catches for the spider and it sleeps above his head in his bedroom

Spiders are cool.....

you have to understand them to enjoy them.....

have had several black widows that have been raised, have had a cain spider living in my car in Hawaii, and several in the house ( along with gecko's) have had brown tarantula's that we have kept for weeks and fed (raised)......

have played with a couple redbacks, now, brown recluses I do not care for, but I understand them and am not worried about them.... (have had several bites from them with no adverse effects at all)....

in England, there is a spider you can hear walking acros the floor, and legs reach the diameter of a tea saucer.....

snakes the same way......

anyways, the golieth bird tarantula is the largest i know of.... as was said, the size of a dinner plate (about 8 or 9 inches in diameter with its legs, about 6 inches long (body only/no legs)

I don't have a scientific name, but I think it is the Goliath Birdeating Spider. And it's the size of a dinner plate!!!!

Now I must ask, why would you bring up such a chilling topic, I'm scared just thinking about it. Haha!

That must be the one I was thinking of too, the size of a dinner plate and eats birds.

Yes, I smell a set up, too.

Be careful out there!
