QuoteLuckily this was a baby Huntsman (they grow into big brown hairy so-and-so's but are relatively harmless - though you still would feel it if they decided you looked tasty

Know what you mean  - here  a  "little" bugger I made homeless when I demolished the outside Dunny.

I didn't think I suffered from arachnophobia............................but I do now

I certainly do! 

If I saw that thing it'd be a case of STOP: Hammer time

I've always been a bit arachnophobic , but that just made it worse!

If that's an N gauge spider how big are the O gauge ones ?

What do you think took the photo 

We're a hard mob here in Australia - that one was only under the dunny eaves - they're usually under the dunny SEAT 

Spiders
Before I got married I used to breed Tarantulas, kept them in a vivarium next to my bed.
I also had corn snakes the other side of the bed room.

Please, please put a public warning before posting pictures like this.

I dont mind spiders until they are big enough to see their eyes! with that chap it would be hand the bazooka time!!!

I was hoovering the layout with the Tomix. It did two laps, i then picked it up to shake out some loose ballast directly into the bin that it had collected and like a clumsy oaf, threw the whole lot into the bin

Damage still being assesed..........

P.S those spider pictures would scare even Ray Mears and Bear Grylls! They are scary!

Sorry if I scared anyone - it's just something you accept out here. Beetles and Bull Ants are also on the large size

It's okay No pictures

Not to mention the Red-bellied Black snake under the front step, the huge blue-tongued lizard that keeps preventing me from opening the garage door 'cos it's sunning itself there, and oh, don't forget the Blue-ringed octopuses in the rock pools..... 

  so true

OK, OK, I must admit I haven't had an encounter with a Blue-ring occy yet, but the snake and lizard were all too real - and the bluebottle stings when I used to do youthful things like attempt to surf..
