    I can't remember how many people but i know it's a lot.

    I'm scared shitless of spiders. I was watching a movie in the dark and i saw something move...it was a spider. I tore my room apart and sprayed the shit out of everything. Scratched my arms up whacking at it and throwing shit. I hate all bugs and spiders! I've seen so many pictures with people that have had bites from those fucking brown recluse or whatever u spell it. Some people lose their arms and legs and it takes months to heal...fuck all u spiders!
    Not true about the Daddy Long Legs. They disproved that on the show Mythbusters. One of the guys actually provoked one of the spiders into biting him. The spider that is regarded as the deadliest in the world is the Brazilian Wandering Spider. It is also known as the "Banana Spider" since it has a bad habbit of showing up in grocery stores in shipments of bananas.

    Males of this large, aggressive, Australian species have the most toxic venom of all spiders. Painful bites can release a neurotoxin that could kill a person within 15 minutes; quick treatment with anti-venom can prevent fatalities.

    Now I know where they got the idea for my car design from.
    Atrax robustus...lol...sounds like the scientific name came from a bugs bunny cartoon.


    That camel spider is just plain nasty.

    Did they jump??


    We have a ton of much smaller spiders that look just like that, but they jump instead of run.
    Not much of a threat though...as far as I know.

    So you are saying it's a spider that resembles a daddy long leg or what. I don't see how that became a myth.

    No, they used actual daddy long legs. They disproved the myth that daddy long legs are the most poisoness spiders.

    I'm referring to the "banana spiders". Do they look similar to the daddy long legs? I was just wondering how the rumor got started about daddy long legs being so deadly.

    Guy is retarded, he buys a spider like that and expects them to be fast friends, any time you go near it, it will exhibit that behavior until it becomes accustomed to new surroundings, spiders have small brains, so they are not long on memory. It's not a dog.

    Even if he had it for years and it started doing that, it's just a self protective mechanism, to say look how big and scary I am, I can hurt you, so stay away. You feed it, leave it alone, for a bit, it will calm down.

    I can't imagine buying an exotic pet then calling some friggin tree hugging animal society, "Help me, my exotic tarantula or snake seeks to do me harm", grow some balls and get an education.

    He says the spider can live for 25 years, and doesn’t make a good pet because it is very protective of its nest.
    Duh, he find this out after he bought it? I hate people that haven't a clue about exotic pets, go and buy them 'cause their "cool" to impress people with, then when they can't handle them, let 'em go. That's why we have gators and iguanas in places they don't belong. How many morons wouldn't have called anyone and let this thing go in some nearby woods, for it to die with the first cold front.

    having a spider as a pet is stupid.

    you can't pet something that wants to inject venom in you and kill you and eat you.

    Scorpions...sharks...piranhas...poisonous frogs...

    The nastiest pet of all of them...met this chic who had two pet rats...the things just creep me out.

    I had a Speckled Chain King snake for ten years, and a Green Iguana for six...a rat will never be a pet o' mine.
