We have tarantulas at Lake of  the Ozarks. And some of the are "pets" in the machine shop.

We had several around our house in Arizona.  One male would visit me from time to time in my garage while I was reloading.

If you feed it they'll keep pestering you.

Not spider related, just exploring any other twitches we can get out of Amy:

About a week ago, I was in the reading room, nothing but slippers on my feet and my underpants down around my ankles. Out of the corner of my eye I caught a gimps of a shadow on the floor approaching me from the left. There it was. A scorpion about 2-1/2 inches long, claws to stinger. Yes, big enough to cast a shadow!

My feet being shackled by my skivvies, I had no way to stomp on it without launching myself off the throne. Since I was reading my "Guns" magazine, I realized I had a weapon in hand, I bent over and slammed it down on top of the scorpion and commenced to squishing it.

What a gooey mess! Cleanup wasn't pleasant, and it cost me a page out of the magazine.

Since then, I do check ANYTHING I wear prior to dawning it. I also scan the floors, room to room.

I have 10 cats, anything that moves that's not one of the cats or myself gets quickly eliminated or at the very least brought to my attention if they're not sure about it.

Spiders are pretty much the only thing I won't willingly pick up and relocate. That said, that video makes me rather glad I'm not a Suriname sea toad.
