| -CHAUVINIST PIG-   | Re: You think YOU have problem crabs... those coconut crabs, those are the ones fabled for killing sailors stranded on tropical islands. when theyd sleep, those would treat their heads like a coconut. i think its a myth. but i dont see myself camping in Guam

| Frequent lurker  | Re: You think YOU have problem crabs... We have those in Florida, though we do not call them Cane Spiders. Hunstman Spider seems to be a more common name. I had one jump on me when I was in the shower once. After that, I always checked the shower curtain before entering.

down in baja, my aunts brother and i were at this lil bar on the beach. a cane spider dropped onto our table. so coming from the hill, i see this thing that looks like a wolf spider on steroids. Ken goes to mess w/ it and i was like "Dont mess with homeboy, he looks pissed. thing will kick your ass" "Pissed my ass" says ken, and wiggles his finger at it like 6 inches away. thing makes a half turn towards ken and just LEAPS onto his hand and bit the living hell out of him like 3 times. then it just kinda walked off. moral of the story, dont wiggle things at cane spiders

| -CHAUVINIST PIG- | Re: You think YOU have problem crabs... i keep black widows as pets. key is to find a baby female. when they're tiny they're all multicolored and uber aggressive. its nice to grow them from a dinky lil baby. also, i get babies just as a precaution. sexually mature females can store spermicles internally for months. the biggest one i ever had i grew from a lil baby for about 3.5 years. her butt was the size of a quarter, and her leg span approached 4 inches. she kinda reminded me of the queen in aliens
