My problem with spiders is i know too much about them. i read a lot of "Worlds Most Dangerous" type books, and over the years I've learned to tell the difference between safe spiders and dangerous spiders. Tarantulas aren't dangerous. I'd like to see you pick up a pissed off White-Tip spider and not be scared. Those things cause necrosis.paranoid101 wrote:

Thing is before I got these spiders, I used to hate them too, but since having them and holding them, I am no longer scared.
I mean how can you be scared of a little house spider after holding a 6inc tarantula.

Im lucky enough to live in the UK, where they are no dangerous spiders, unless they come in to the country in banana boxes.Fenris_GreyClaw wrote:

It's hard for me not to be scared, considering the fact the White-Tips are LIVING in my room!paranoid101 wrote:

As for the dangerous ones like the White-tip, your right I wouldn't pick one up or in fact any dangerous spider, no that would be dumb.
But that doesn't mean I would be scared of one, I would just make sure I treated it with respect, as with dealing with any dangerous animal.
Well there no harm in being a bit scared, I should have put this in my past post.Fenris_GreyClaw wrote:

I don't even know where they come from, be it the floor, roof, walls... makes it hard to sleep.
Yeah our continent is pretty fucked up eh? We have backward animals that lay eggs, and spiders and snakes that can kill you by looking at you funny, they're so deadly.Fenris_GreyClaw wrote:

No, because they haven't really appeared much. I've seen (read 'killed') 3 W-tips over the last 3 months, and because that really isn't much when you think about it, my dad hasn't called the exterminator yet, and probably won't.paranoid101 wrote:

Being Scared keeps you alive. its a reflex from caveman time, be it with snakes, spiders, Tyrannosaur Rex , etc.......
As for your problem have you called in the exterminators yet?
At least we don't live in Sydney.Cheez wrote:

White-tailed spider
The white-tailed spider, a species indigenous to Australia, has long been blamed for a necrotic bite, producing symptoms similar to a brown recluse. However, recent studies into this spider have led many to believe that its bite produces no serious effects in humans; in particular, necrotic ulcers were not observed. White-tail bites do cause localized pain and lesions. [12] Nonetheless, the white-tailed spider still is rather infamous in Australia, and frequently referred to as a dangerous spider.
