MacKenzie Posted January 27, 2017 Report Posted January 27, 2017 That is one thing about Australia, you have a real variety of critters. 2
Paul Posted January 27, 2017 Report Posted January 27, 2017 Umm...no thanks! I don't mind spiders as long as they stay a manageable size. That one is big enough to need a kill-switch!! 1
Steve M Posted January 27, 2017 Report Posted January 27, 2017 Dang, even the trees look angry down there 3
Garvinque Posted January 27, 2017 Report Posted January 27, 2017 Yeah, you can keep that down under Garvin 1
FotonDrv Posted January 27, 2017 Report Posted January 27, 2017 OMG! I would have had a heart attack! I do not like spiders, and yes, I know they provide a function in the greater scheme of things but not in my scheme... When you have your glasses off and are taking a shower and a thing descends from the ceiling right in front of you and you suddenly realize that the black dot is a spider the shower panic would be recordable on a seismometer !! 1
Paul Posted January 27, 2017 Report Posted January 27, 2017 So I have to ask. Do they just open the door themselves and walk right in? or do they find a small 6 inch crack somewhere and squeeze through? 2
Shuley Posted January 27, 2017 Report Posted January 27, 2017 Holy crap. I thought I wanted to visit Australia one day. Between that and box jellies I am reconsidering. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2

Hahaha, the doors are pretty much always open in Australia, where you're home anyway. Too hot! But even if everything was closed this monster would take the door off its hinges.

pesto3 Posted January 27, 2017 Author Report Posted January 27, 2017 I was raised by my mother and she was petrified of spiders. And as a result....huntsman's scare the out of me!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
pesto3 Posted January 27, 2017 Author Report Posted January 27, 2017 My boss at work put this under my chair in the lunch room as a prank. a harmless carpet python, snakes don't bother me. I put it up in the back table and when dave (the Irish man) came in I told him I found one of his tools out on the job "it's right over there in that bucket" well he tipped the bucket over towards him to look inside and the scream was one of the funniest things I have ever heard!! Lmao. So I put him in my truck so I could take him out in the bush to let him go, well I got busy and I forgot and an hour later I look over So I went around to the passenger side to let him out and he went into the dash, so then I had to pull the whole dash apart just to get him out!! He is safe now back in the bush. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
Paul Posted January 27, 2017 Report Posted January 27, 2017 Um...yeah. I hunt, fish, camp, love the outdoors, and so on but I just don't have any need for things that slither. 2
FotonDrv Posted January 27, 2017 Report Posted January 27, 2017 You should have seen the jungles in Vietnam everything either crawled, slithered or flew and the ones that flew were filing flight plans, soooo many bugs and they all wanted a piece of you... 1
tony b Posted January 27, 2017 Report Posted January 27, 2017 As I recall, you Aussies have some of the most poisonous spiders and snakes on the planet. Please keep them down there!
