Except behind glass. Was that a real tarantula? Yikes! WE do get rather large wolf spiders here (you can see their eyes.....eewe!) I'm sure I would have developed a terrible fear of laundry had that happened to me.

What is it about most women (me included) that goes ICK! at big spiders? <BR/><BR/>Jenny & Christy, sorry I should have warned you. I was NO WHERE NEAE the filming of this video. My 12yods did it. I was in the house shaking violently and looking for my arachnophobia meds!

They sound so cute.<BR/><BR/>But honey, was it REALLY necessary to put the camera right down eye-level with the horrid thing?! I actually backed my desk chair away from the computer and had to look away until it was over. I seriously did NOT like that! LOL! You should warn us before freaking us out like that!Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02273201875765310067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326946447594640287.post-68066408939574879782007-05-23T01:23:00.000-05:002007-05-23T01:23:00.000-05:00wow, what a great video!

We don't have big spiders like this where I live in So. Ca...but once when I was around 7 we found one walking in the gutter down our street. I did put it into a glass jar. I don't know how I did it, now, I could not be in a room with a free tarantula! yikes!Hen Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17237819297457183820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326946447594640287.post-64197984182614858992007-05-22T21:47:00.000-05:002007-05-22T21:47:00.000-05:00That is awesome!

It sure sounded that they were having a good time & enjoying the "wildlife".Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12931073486767480470noreply@blogger.com
