Niece Evie is returning for a few days tomorrow....Apparently didnt scare her off the first time around!
On Saturday, I was in town, and mentioned to her sister(20) that I needed to find another spider to scare Evie.
Sister thought that was a GREAT idea...
After rummaging the toy dept, we find this big-arse redback spider, which is battery powered and runs around on what look to be toothbrush bristles under the body! Damn thing is as creepy as heel, and is even hairy to pick up.
I turned it on, and it even creeped me out; seeing it run around the floor at speed. The lesgs twitch like they are alive, and it would give even a spider lover a few nightmares.
Perfect...
First thought was to leave it in the grog cupboard, (see pic) as Evie has developed a taste for a nice whiskey at the end of the day, and seems to actually be able to appreciate the taste of decent whiskey.
An 18-year-old with an appreciation for taste and quality in alcohol!
Who'da thunk of THAT??
However, I'm now thinking of leaving it on top of the big vacuum cleaner, as she was planning on continuing the epic de-fester of the house for me, between some jobs out in the paddock...
Either way; kinda think I should have a de-fib unit handy...
Nahhhh; She's young. She'll recover...
No; havent glued any Tarantulas to any thongs; they are in hibernation until it rains, so they are safe for now...
Did you know that Tarantulas have bifold mittens on the end of their feet, so they can grasp things?
And they have claws on the very end of their feet to dig with?
And they can dig burrows down over a metre?
Amazing animals; some of them would love to visit the island state one day...
What a freaking kind and caring uncle I am...
