1. whoohoo

If it wasn't dangerous, you might have left it. They get rid of mice and other small rodents.

[jobycom]

3. And small pets... Usually they leave the kids alone...

Kidding. I love snakes.

[youthere]

17. That's why I called the DNR...

(Department of Natural Resources)...they don't kill them. They just let them go AWAY from my house.

2. DNR? Democratic National Republicans?

Do Not Resuscitate? :shrug:

:)

[jobycom]

6. Ditzy Neurotic Republicans? (Thinking of a certain writer...)

[crispini]

9. Deliquesent National Roadrunners?

Delicious Nutty Rabbits?

[youthere]

13. LOL Department of Natural Resources.

4. There is no reason to be scared of non-poisonous snakes.

I had two boa constrictors at one time. They make great pets.

5. At least it wasn't something like this:

[jobycom]

7. You're right. Those red x's are terrifying!

[Roland99]

8. Pfffft...fixed now.

:P

[jobycom]

10. HOLY GOD!!!

I preferred the X! What is that?

[Roland99]

11. That's what you get for mocking the red 'x'!

:)


I have no idea wtf it is but I'd be afraid to get near. Hell, if I tried to stomp it it would probably just get mad, grab my leg, and throw me to the ground!

[jobycom]

18. I'll never tease you again!

The nightmares should take weeks to fade away!

[Roland99]

24. .

:rofl:

[crispini]

12. Cool. Brown recluse?

Those bad boys have a NASTY bite.

[Roland99]

14. This thing is probably, what, 20x bigger than a brown recluse?

[crispini]

16. Nah, that's a real extreme closeup.

That's a SCREW there in the picture, to give you an idea of scale. I dunno, but it looks similar.



BTW, do NOT Google Image Search "brown recluse" unless you want to see some DISGUSTING pictures of spider bites.

[jobycom]

22. The body looks different. Bigger middle, smaller tail-thingie

Abdomens, thoraxes-- whatever the bug terms are supposed to be!

Plus, your picture doesn't have those creepy-ass pinscher-looking thingies!

It does seem to be an extreme closeup. That's a sheetrock anchor screw, shouldn't be too big.

[crispini]

25. True, and the OP looks grayer

Probably not a brown recluse. But similar.

My favorite spider is the garden spider. They make such a cool web. And they're cuuuuute, with their little yella bellies!

[youthere]

28. we call those tomato spiders...

(probably not the right name for them) but yes...those are beautiful-OUTSIDE.

[Panda1]

33. Not poisonous...

...but disconcerting. Location, location, location. ;)

[Roland99]

23. Different color, body, etc.

I need to find the pic that I thought this was. It's a spider behind a wall clock...its legs stick out from behind the clock.

I can barely bring myself to view the jpg!

[youthere]

19. Oh.My.God.

Thud.

[youthere]

21. Again-Oh.My.God.

*thud*

[Roland99]

29. Ok...Try THESE!!

32. Oh my effing God.

That's a lot of spiders. Some of them are kind of pretty though.

[BikeWriter]

20. Bull snakes eat poisonous snakes for breakfast! I am...

always happy to see one. :)

[youthere]

26. I have no problem with them...

AWAY from my house. Let the snakes frolic happily anywhere that ISN'T my basement.

[Roland99]

27. Do snakes frolic?

I thought that they just galivanted.

[youthere]

30. they frolic, galivant...

AND cavort-but they are very self concious and do it when no one is looking.:crazy:

[Roland99]

31. Hmm...not so sure about that cavortin'

We might need a congressional investigation.
