My spider gave me hairy eyes.

Though I see that more recently he's found himself something oriental & exotic. .

Any sensible person would have got a book from the library, and stoved the creepy beggar's head in. (Whilst wearing eye protection of course)

Not dissimilar to an old lady who took her cat to the vet because it was putting on weight. (True story by a vet)
She’s pregnant said the vet.
Not possible said the woman, she doesn’t leave the house.
Are there any other cats in the house asked the vet?
Only her brother she replied.

Was she Welsh by any chance?

He must be the only twat in the world who hasn't seen a tarantula fire arse hairs in self defence on a natural history programme.

Well i'm witholding my NHS money from anyone stupid enough to keep a ruddy great hairy spider in their lounge for fun.

[Lockhouse]

I've never seen that.

Probably coz I gave up watching wildlife programmes yonks ago.

Me too. Well I never. Well I did a few times, but that's another story.

But would you decide to invest in a carnivorous, poisonous, hunting animal then stick your head in its tank / cage / vivarium while the territorial predator was still in there?

Any sensible person would have got a book from the library, asked a few basic questions in Killer Pets 'R' Us, or Googled it.



(Or made sure there were no diamonds just lying around.)

[Spacecadet]

First i've heard of it as well

But then I'm sensible enough to keep tarantulas more than 15-20 cm from my face

The authors said the spider was about 15 to 20 cm from his eye.

"People who don't do the most trivial bit of research before keeping nasty predators as pets, get injured" says Fred down the pub.
