If that thing were to ever crawl / run / skip or whatever it does along my walls / floor / bath, then it would be seeing the underside of my size 9's.

Not quite as big at those but this is the biggest we have had in the house. Its a Huntsman.

 

[madmitch]

I would love the opportunity to photagraph that.

 

[MJpeg]

OMG

AHHHHHHHHHH

I normally expect BIG spiders to be hairy, somehow they are then not as scary
(heehee hairy scary)
However that is proclaimed a glorious monster, its like something out a horror movie with its spindley thin legs

I'm glad I've only got a 13" screen.

Feel sorry for you guys with a 24" screen.

That coin means nothing to me, it could be the size of a dinner plate or a small washer

Yeah, I used to have one of them too. Absolutely - a right nasty piece of work it was. It would turn around and flick hairs off it`s abdomen towards me every time I opened the vivarium to feed it. Even scarier is that it could move about as fast as I could over very short distances.

Impressive creatures though.

 

[kluen]

Woa, that looks like something from a sci-fi film!

 

[JJS5]

If I came home and found one in my house............well you can always buy another house! lol
