I killed my friends pet tarrantula by accident... well i meant to kill it! but i didn't realise it was hers... it was on her desk and I freaked, grabbed her binder and dropped it on top of it... she was very upset...

I used to have a tarantula. It hated me. :(

I've also been bit by a black widow around six years ago. Worst thing ever. Itched so bad.

I also went to bed once, room pretty dark, covers pulled up to my chin, only to see this giant white spider swing down on a thread from my ceiling and FELT IT LAND ON MY CHEST. Freaked me out.

I'm okay with spiders as long as they're not crawling on me (or hiding under my toilet seat).

That's the kind of tarantula I had. It was so cute and fuzzy but it didn't like me. Loved my dad. Loved my dad's girlfriend. Hated me. Every time I'd go to change its water or add crickets to its home it would get into fighting/defense stance and release those ****ing hairs that would cause my hands to itch like mad and break out in miniature blisters that would last days. :(

Harley had a Chilean Rose tarantula a while ago. It pushed open the lid of its aquarium and escaped. Luckily I found it before the dog did as they can give a nasty bite.

In Oman we used to get camel spiders in the desert. If one came upon you asleep it would inject an anaesthetic and eat, say, part of your ear off. We used to watch out for them very carefully in the same way that we used to check our boots for scorpions before putting them on.

Never surrender.

My tarantula actually learned how to remove the rubber tubing that held the screen on the top of its terrarium so it would escape on its own. It was able to climb the corner of its tank after much practice. :\

I love spiders.
I'm getting a Tarantula when i have enough money.
They're one of my favourite creatures :)
They're so cute



So stand in the rain.
Stand your ground.
Stand up when it's all crashing down.
You stand through the pain.
You won't drown.

They don't really bother me, but i'm not going to let them live in my house!





I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.

Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass.

You didn't come this far just to come this far.

It wasn't that bad. I mean, it itched, but it bit me in a fattier area of my body (the back of my thigh, it was hiding under my toilet seat) so it didn't do anything except itch and create a huge, uncomfortable area for almost two months.

We'd find my cats hissing at mine. It would make it into hallways and other rooms and would be attempting to fight my kitties.
