who doesn't keep a poisonous spider as a pet?

[joeyjoe9876]

yeah so the other day i saw giant spider hanging from a power line and i was like "WTF that thing is huge!" so after i mowed the lawn i took a few shots at it trying to knock it down with a brook stick and got it down after about a million tries. afterwards i saw it crawling away, then i thought "Wait i have a cage full of Grasshoppers, i wanna see him eat them" so after a very dangerous attempt to catch him i finally managed to get him in the cage. after two days of being in there he ate the head off one of the biggest grasshoppers in there xD
i would take pics but the glare is really bad on the cage lol

Aren't brown recluse spiders about the size of a penny? They pack a big punch though.

Now that's just plain disturbing. Good thing these things aren't found in my area.

xD if you saw what it did to one of the grasshoppers i don't think you would want to let it out..
it took a grasshopper that was about 6 inches long and demolished it. if i were to measure it now it would be about 2.5 inches at least lol

Squish it.

No!! That's when they bite you...

Holy cow... You have a grasshopper that's as long as a dollar bill?

i call them "mutant grasshoppers from my back yard"
seriously when you don't mow the lawn back there for 3 months you don't know what you will find

[snowpenguin]

Kill it. Or it'll kill you.

[joeyjoe9876]

idk there's about 10 grasshoppers in that cage. i plan on letting it eat all of them then just never going near that cage again until its dead xD

Then use a tool to squish it.
