[QUOTE="Combat Advantage, post: 179274, member: 33095"] Soup Salad, At the park early this morning, I saw a thick covering of web surrounding the base of the fireplace chimney in a pavilion. It was dark in there, so it was hard to see. I was curious and started pulling debris off of the web. Then I reached and just about touched a spider. Not just any spider. It was around 20" inches across, a little bigger than a basketball, and I got a good look at the underside. The fangs were longer and as thick as my thumb! I first thought, WOW what species is this?! I had no idea these lived around here. It must eat bats and barn swallows. I was sooo happy .....What a find! Now, what can I put it in? I thought.....big rubber maid container, or maybe a garbage can. I hollered to a guy up by the road to ask if there was a store nearby. He got scared and ran away. He didn't see the spider. He was just scared of strangers not wearing masks. Then I went back to the fireplace and noticed that it looked familiar. Soup.......it was YOUR TARANTULA! Then I woke up. :) I think that your new friend was the last thing that I saw before bed time. LOL!!! [/QUOTE]
