··schizophrenic pizza orderer and watch collector@cicindela That’s why when you get them this big you have entered the horse club.
(You could put a saddle on it and ride it home.)
Make sure you watch the first bit and the fish at 6:32 minutes

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerWell, the first time I visited Australia was in 1988, and finally after 31 years of going there I saw a snake...
I believe this is an Eastern Brown snake - sunning itself in the morning to warm up...I didn't get too close, just in case.

··Ash @ ΩFI know we're not allowed to kill them but if one of those bastards turned up in my shoe that snake would have committed suicide by shovel not long after.

Same with Huntsmans. Every arachnophile tells you just get a dust pan/ice cream container and catch them and let them go in the garden.
NFW!
This morning I was tidying up on the patio, doing some light gardening.
I picked up a bag of pea straw and a huge Huntsman ran over my hand and started up my arm.
<what I think happened>
I calmly brushed it off with my left hand and allowed it to run under the barbie while I finished with the garden work and then I went inside for a coffee.
<what actually happened according to a witness (I won't name HER)>
I screamed out so loud it started the dog off next door, flung my arm so violently I have a sore elbow, grabbed the broom and swatted it until it was flat, and then I swept it into the garden. I then proceeded to spray the area with residual spider and cockroach insecticide and went inside for a coffee.

··Ash @ ΩFMan I remember one morning climbing into the shower still half asleep, getting my hair all shampooed up and turning around to see one on the shower wall inches from my face. It was one of those old three sliding panel type shower doors and I ran through the panels leaving then to fall on the ground then smashed the thing with a deodetant can. What a shit way to wake up.

··schizophrenic pizza orderer and watch collectorYou guys are funny, I get called out on overtime to collect spiders and have Mrs standy identifying them.
With only one of these
to capture one of these below ( and no I can’t spray them first as it ruins the identifiable characteristics )

No brandy in the coffee 😉
