holy frick...do you ever say to guests that come over for dinner..."son, where is your spider, he's got out of his cage again?"...
Lol! No, we try not to freak people out with our petting zoo of different animals but we are always happy to educate if they are interested.
If you look back through this thread, you will see this spider as a spiderling no bigger than my thumbnail. Incredible how much it has grown.
In the pic I just posted, you can see the silk thread coming off of my hand. It is amazing how thick and strong it is. Truly, a wonder of nature.
