Strong conflicting feelings with this video. It would be like watching a Collingwood v Collingwood game.

im not a fan but we usually have a small wolf of huntsman floating around the lounge somewhere not very big, 50 cent size
we leave him alone and he sits up on the wall or the roof
each morn he has moved and is in a diff spot
even the cat watched him the other night come down the wall, scuttle across the floor and go under the tv unit stand...thought he'd go it but even he couldnt be assed

redbacks and white tails are diff
i squish those things into oblivion

Could probably do without these baby's though:

Quick little story, I have a massive phobia of spiders, reading this thread makes me feel quite sick, but it's humouring me lol.

Anyway, last night I was heading the the bathroom to do my business and what not, felt something on my foot, didn't look, just moved it, next minute a red and grey/green spider came running out, I have never seen a spider of this colour before, as I live in the UK, so I grabbed some tissue, and grabbed the sod, me being a smart arse and thinking it was dead, took a closer look, then, it started to do some kung fu shit with it's legs and I screamed to the high heavens, and dropped the tissue, and now I can't find the shit bag, I did a little research on it, and didn't find much info, "Woodlouse spider" which it can't be, as it's native to America, or somewhere miles away from England so I'm just lost, and very very worried as it might be lurking in my room waiting to eat my face

Hey it least it didn't land on your backside. I shouldn't be cruel as come wet season up here in the tropics the odd green frog tends to hang out in toilet bowl.

Time to get the slipper out IMO.

Got bitten by what a I think was a white tail twice last year around Christmas time on my right leg. Thought they were just mosquito bites. Just left them and thought they would go away. They didn't. Woke up in quite some pain on Boxing Day, went to the doctors and had to take pills for two weeks. They scarred, barely noticable though.

Love spiders though. Usually am the guy that catches them and stares at them in the jar.

Caught a massive huntmsan two Christmases ago first thing when I woke up in the parents bedroom too lol.

So glad we don't have funnel webs down here in Melbourne. That's one thing I definitely wouldn't go near.

disagree:

They're great, for the 100m you can drive them until they break down.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

It's kinda funny, for all the reputation Redbacks have, if you lift any bell cover this summer, you'll see one poo itself in fear of it's life and scurry down to the bottom of the meter!

 

[Marklar_33]

Yeah, back in my day they used to shiv ya!

LOL what do you expect them to do? Maul you to death?

If you get bitten though, you're ****ed.

exactly had a run in with a redback the other day. i ghetto stomped it but was scared it would some how still survice and get inside my shoe

 

[Flawed Genius]

**** everything about this thread and the other one.

 

[PunyHumans!!!]

Not really...depends on the individual, *captainobvious*

There has been only 14 deaths in over a hundred years, none since the early 80's. Most of those who get bitten don't even need any antivenom from redback bites or even realize they have been bitten.

One source says over 2000 people were bitten between 1963-76 without a fatality. Still, a bite is likely to hurt like buggery and isn't something to be treated lightly.

There's a tile missing from the bottom corner of my shower, and a small black spider has been nestling in the vacant space for the past three weeks. Its shape suggests it's a redback, but I haven't been able to identify it as it always sits upside down in the web. The instant that the taps are turned on, it scuttles away through a hole in the wall.

Apparently, funnel web venom has little effect on dogs, cats, rabbits, mice and other domesticated animals.

How about the spiders they have at the zoo! Imagine having one of them crawling up your neck!
