LOL me too Gorilly, I am arachnapobic, but don't kill them, I scream and beg the husband to toss them out, but they are truly amazing creatures once you get past the fear, intelligent little life force! honor and respect, from a distance, and try to love 'em all

We carry them out daily. Gotten so used to the Spiders we just let them affix a web to our hands and don't bother finding something to put them in anymore. I think they appreciate it.

We have some cool Species here.

Thanks Katie!
