Holy thread steal batman! Saw this in a cave in Indonesia, it was an absolute monster, perhaps the size of my head. I had to send the local boy back to take a picture as I practically sprinted away from it

Any ideas?

It's also completely harmless. They make very nice pets as they are extremely docile.

Maybe it was just a bit of a dick.

I quite like them, they are much more insect like that most arachnids.

Ah, are those the things they put on celebs in 'I'm a celeb get me out of here'?

Thought it was some sort of huntsman spider they normally put on those idiots?

Quick but pretty uninterested in biting you

Saw the exact same monster in Borneo! S*** my pants when I saw it, one of the most frightening moments of my life, it was in the "shower area" of a rainforrest expedition.
