Wasn't until I talked to dennydee on here who mentioned they actually keep them as pets, that I figured why not, since my basement is filled anyways. They are extremely interesting and very skilled hunters. Its just the long thin legs that creep me out. I won't say I'll never kill one though. It's winter here and putting them outside they'd die but when they crawl across my desk I don't just let them go lol. Too many in the basement already. I have kept several as pets but probably squished just as many <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
