'DUUDDDEEE' because I have already told you that I'm arachnophobic. Posting another pic is taking the urine and I didn't appreciate it, there was no need to post another as it's already on the thread at least twice.

[QUOTE=Ideal Maxima]Dude, why are you so afraid of spiders? I personally think that this spider is beautiful.[/QUOTE]
Well, they're not very cuddly. That's why I personally don't like Jack-Russels either. They run, and run, and jump, and run.
But at least they're somewhat bigger than a spider.

What's a Jack-Russel? :confused:

It's a small dog, the sort that yap and yap, and are little more than large annoying rats. My Gran used to have one that was forever yapping and snarling, so every oppertunity when it went to bite me I used to kick the little 'ahem' across the room. Glad it died 2 years ago.

[QUOTE=C Elegans]Ah, I see.

If I had any possibility whatsoever to take care of a pet, I would love to have a spider like this Asian beauty, but they are very difficult to house in captivity:

It's not gonna harm you unless you provoke it. But seriously, that's one of the more beautiful looking spiders, the tarantula is a hell a lot scarier than that. :rolleyes:

Well, it's not supposed to be that colorful, it's just molted (shedded) so it's can grow bigger and grow a new shell.

Some spiders have a very liberal interpretation of the word provoke. I personally squish any that invade my territory(defined as any area I'm in) uninvited.

Tarantulas are actually really harmless compared to their appearance.

yeah, but they flick their hairs and stuff at you, and most people breathe them in causing horrific pains. :eek:

Well those spiders look beautifull on a picture, but I don't think I will be able to hold one or even be in one room with such monsters. :eek:

My friend has one of this species:

He has no good photos of his spider, so he sent me the website where he learned about the specie. I'm leaving the link, even though it is in portuguese:

Spiders!!!

Now I would understand someone being afraid of that, but I still think it's a great one. *sigh* If only I could get a pet spider :(

Bunnies... too cute. Makes me sick to my stomache. Mmm, Nawfas... I've played too many games of opposite day to not realize where you got that name. :rolleyes:
