Cygnus Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 So I was applying BSG on my car friday night when a buddy who was out walking around looking to get laid stopped to admire the shine. Yup, that's a male Arizona Blond Tarantula. Startled me a little when I finished wiping down the hood and started to walk around to the rear where it was sitting. It was cool to see one in the wild like that. They don't really leave their burrows until they they mature at about 12 years old and go looking for a mate. If you need something cuter, here's a shot from a little over a year ago. The tree in it is just off my walkway about 15 feet from my front door.

Nordgrey Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Spiders I am ok with. Snakes? Nudder story! Had an incredibly annoying roommate on my intial trades training after Basic Training who was terrified of spiders. I bought a copy of Arachnophobia for the VCR and whenever he became too much we would toss that in the VCR and we were blessed with at least two hours of peace.

I did have a nice little jump when I realized what that dark blob by the back of my car was, but I didn't scream like a little girl. Once I calmed down from the initial fright and realized that it was harmless, it became a bit cooler to see. It's the first time I saw one in the wild. I get bobcats, coyotes, javelina, rattlers, etc. all the time, but never a tarantula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sissy. :lol: I'm not afraid of spiders til they jump at me. We found some sort of spiders in the pole barn that were bigger than a half dollar in size. I really didn't want to get that close to it. If they keep their distance then I will keep mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Adam's Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Its a seriously good thing I wasn't at your house when you took that pick Brad, b/c I likely would've shrieked then jumped up on the hood of your car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad you were not here. That would have been great to get on video. Plus then my car would be getting a nice new detail when you fix the scuffs you put on it. I might have to collect a couple of them to bring out if you guys go to Barrett-Jackson again this year. Actually, the one I saw the other night could be there already. It was walking in that direction and I'm less than a mile from the fields. :willy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
