Tarantula!



By request, here's one of our friendly tarantulas that sometimes come to the house. This one was at the back patio door and wandered around for awhile and then left. They are really not as scary as they look, they aren't aggressive and you can let them walk onto your hand and pick them up. It takes a bit of provoking to get one to try to bite. And as large as they are, you aren't going to find one in your shoe...like a scorpion. (Shoe shaking is a standard procedure here, just in case!)
