I let spiders live unless they are on my pillow.
There’s an urban legend that says that we swallow eight spiders a year while we sleep …
I know. I count them as part of my Weight Watchers points.
I’m now gonna tape my mouth shut before I sleep
This though makes total sense. I’ve woken up in the morning several times with a squashed spider laying next to me.
Funny story. My uncle used to keep chilli rose tarantulas. One day he went out on a bike ride to keep fit. When he got home he has to push his bike through the house to into the back garden shed. This one day while pushing it through he heard a crunch and looked down. One of his spiders was squashed and stuck to the wheel. Somehow it had got out of its tank. I remember to this day him phoning me to tell me about it. Bad as it sounds I couldn’t stop laughing
You should see @Ghandisflipflop collection of unusual pets. Bird eating spiders, forest scorpions and various other “nightmares”
Hope he won’t post them in the “Show your animal” thread …
