Chew Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I was leaving a friends house last Sunday, in the general area of Fairfax hospital. Myself and a few other friends nearly walked into a giant web that was spanning part of the sidewalk. The ****er sitting in the middle of that web was the size of an unshelled peanut. We almost became his dinner. I backed away slowly, and continued to my car, keeping my face towards it at all times in case he decided to pounce. **** probably would've swallowed you whole. ugh. you have the best sig on ES, by the way.

Mr. Sinister Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) Funny. Was at my dads house in Bethesda last weekend and ran into the biggest daddy long leg id ever seen on the wall near his steps. Head was damn near the size of an m&m. Humongous legs. So I sprayed his ass. Because **** like that does not get to invade my personal space. Dude was so big he couldnt even twitch quickly. Then he fell. I sprayed him again. Then he got upright again and started rocking back and forth like some Arabian dance routine. Then it crumpled and died. Weirdest **** I've ever seen. I've been through the woods and never seen daddy's that big. Then again, Bethesda had a **** ton of trees.

mistertim Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) Famous last words Nah...B. smithi are very docile. Its my first tarantula so I didn't want a really defensive one. You can hold them (correctly) all day long and they won't bite. Now...OBTs (Orange Baboon Tarantulas, also colloquially known as "Orange Bitey Things") are a rather different story. They do not roll that way: Edited August 29, 2015 by mistertim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertim Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Just got my Tarantula on Wed! As promised here she is. I'm not handling her right now because its too stressful for her while she's getting acclimated to her new enclosure. She's still quite small...about 1.5 - 1.75 inches leg span. But she'll end up close to 6 inches eventually. Her color is pretty dark right now so she might be getting ready to molt soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistertim Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Youd think that was the only way some of those big ****ers find their way into peoples houses. Its like they just materialize Actually tarantulas aren't often the kinds of spiders that wander into houses. They're ambush predators and tend to find a hide/burrow/tree (depending on the nature of the tarantula type in question) and just stay there. They're big but they're also very fragile and most tend to be rather timid and non-aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passepartout Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 My dad doesn't like spiders and fears them. But he really has no qualms over snakes. He can pick one up in a heartbeat! Go figure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
