Spiders everywhere!

Has anyone else noticed loads of spiders around over the last few weeks?

This monster was on my wall and was swiftly dispatched. They are everywhere! :mad:

Edit - then again perhaps it's just you and there's a whole nest of them thats recently hatched in your room,

I think the time of the year when you see most of them is september/october. Anyway, I like them!

my worst experience was when I went (barefoot) to put an old pair of shoes on that I kept by the back door. Put one foot in and thought 'oh the lining must be a bit rucked up', picked up the shoe and 2 spiders (medium sized) crawled out. I threw the shoe onto the patio and screamed my head off!!!! I always check my shoes now!!!

Yeah, I've suddenly got tonnes of tarantulas wandering around my room :confused:

Funny thing is, they're all in thanks too. No idea where they all came from

That a lot of spiders in awfully small spaces Lostkat...

I'm curious, if for some reason they all got loose - would you merely skip town and claim your house as a write-off on your insurance?

Write-off? lol

They wouldn't get loose. They're all secure, and contrary to popular belief, they can't melt glass/plasic with their laser eyes

I've only ever had 1 escape, and that was my fault - found him though.

IF by some amazing feat they did get loose, I'd find as many as I could and re-home them. The rest would die of hunger/cold

Can i ask if you have ever taken a man home for him to crap himself and run away screaming like a 4 year old girl who has dropped her ice cream.
It would take a better man than me to do " my Thing " whilst those ******* were in the house.
One or two would be ok but that is a nest and you Scare me.

iSam · 25 Mar 2006 at 10:11

Lostkat, I would never sleep knowing that many spiders were in the house! Im not overly squeamish but loads of spiders..err!

No, because I've had the same bf for 4 years, and I acquired the spiders within that time frame

Leon keeps them too!

It's not as if they sit there watching you, or even care

I don't hear a peep out of them, except for the odd scuffle to catch a cricket in the night or some late-night drumming (mating).

*looks around*

20 tarantulas. Same deal as Lostkat. They dont bother us, and we dont bother them.

We dont have very many house spiders at all though, i dont know why? Perhaps it's just a co-incidence.

taliesyn · 25 Mar 2006 at 11:02

9 so far (7 slings), with 2 more slings on the way.

Since I started getting tarantulas I've not noticed a single house spider prowling about.

There used to be a house spider we'd see regularly patrolling the wall in the same room as the Ts. Since they've been housed there, he's conspicuous by his absence.

I wonder if it's coincidental?
