3. Are any of them wearing collars?
The spiders with little spider collars probably already have homes. ;)

5. I didn't see any collars, although
some of them were wearing little spider diapers...Which makes me wonder how do they eat...do spiders have mammaries?

10. That'd be my first move.
And then of course, those spiders that Tom decides to adopt should be vaccinated, and spayed or neutered.

8. Keep an eye out for ALF, they'll free the spiders.
Oh, wait a minute, they don't have fur. Nevermind!

12. I saw a spider once walking down the hall of my home
It was so big it looked like a hand walking towards me. The vaccuum cleaner had trouble sucking that baby up! Generally, I capture them in a glass and take them outside. But this one actually scared me!

13. Put them outside.
They will eat your bugs. Spiders are your friends, and there are very few that are poisonous. Here's my favorite spider:
