GEEKS!!!!!!!!!!

Mandy!!!!!!! Oh my you are going to be so mad at me!!! This morning I came downstairs and saw this HUGE HUGE HUGE spider in my downstairs bathroom!!! I have never ever seen a spider this big that hasn't been in an aquarium.

I'm sure you realize that I did kill it. I put it in a baggy and in a few minutes I'm going to take a picture of it when my camera is charged. I want you to tell me what kind of spider this God awful looking thing is. To give you some idea of how big it is, the body is the same size as the hole in the middle of a CD. It is a dark brown with a tan strip that runs down the middle of its head from front to back.

I'm sorry I killed it but that thing was bigger than my son's foot!!! I can't take the chance of it biting the kids.

The picture will follow in a couple minutes. I hope you aren't mad at me. If I knew how to catch it and keep it alive I would have. Then you could have it. But it's not staying here!!

YUCK!!

ok here is the pictures of it. Of course you already know that since it's dead the legs are all curled up. This thing alive was a very scary sight.

Lemme know if you or if anyone of you know what type of spider this is!! Thanks!

Lisser, about a year ago I had a spider that big on the door of my birdroom. Of course (since I am terrified of spiders) I screamed for my husband...who came running and smashed the thing with a magazine..I swear to god, so much blood splatted out across my wall, it looked like someone got knifed! It was HUGE.

(side note...my sister got bitten by a spider last week, and had a horrible allergic reaction. she had a big swelling on her neck...and she felt very ill. She had to be put on prednisone and antibiotics.)

oh Ya I know where you live Alex there are HUGE spiders. We don't have those here though. Thank GOD!! It doesn't look that big bc it's legs are all curled but trust me. it was big enough to make me want to shit my pants.

Janet!!!!!!!!!!! There is still bug guts on my bathroom rug!! I will no doubt have to wash it. yuck yuck yuck!!!

I can't wait until Mandy sees it. She'll probably never speak to me again since I killed it. :(

Maybe that bad boy was on his way in to eat my birdies...he WAS on the bird room door!

:-D

I woud look at Lisser's spider-pic, but to do so would require me to boot up the laptop computer and sit on the toilet, to prevent any.....accidents.

Not too fond of spiders you see...but don't let on...I'll be a laughing stock.

The Thumb afraid of spiders??????

*ahem* me too ;-)

love spiders

Pardon, that thing is as big as a coin? It's not that big...

I got bitten by a spider once while walking around in my grandparents' backyard barefoot. I didn't notice it at the time, but my food started swelling up a few hours later. It was really painful.

I knew that picture was going to be a spider. Why the hell did I click on it, knowing full well that I would not like what I see?

*shudder*

Just looks like a common jumping spider who was preggie!

Does that mean there could be baby spiders on the loose.

female spiders rock! :P
