the worst of both worlds

WTF? Those were both in her office? Sounds like a nice place to work!

The pics are very misleading. The snake was only 5.5" long. A baby. In relation, that would make the spider something like 1/2" in length. Hardly frightening. I'd wager most of us have equal or larger sized spiders lurking in our offices as well.
 
Wuss. I have a 2' black snake in the garage. Keeps the mice outta my toolboxes. Fookers can make a huge mess.

Hell, we live in the south, so 1/2 inch spiders are small.

Oh, every spring there's an owl couple that raises their young behind the house :yah

You sir, with all due respect, are a DA!!! It's a snake AND a spider. Period. End of story. Throw an owl in there and I'm dead.

For a guy with lots of guns and stuff that blows things up you sure are a PU$$Y.

Think about what you said for just a little bit. In reality though, you of all people probably know the harmlessness of a 5.5" snake.

I can handle a snake, they don't bother me so much. I still shoot water moccasins on sight given the chance but non poisonous snakes I don't bother. If one were in the house I'd just put him outside and go on with life.

Spiders on the other hand, I hate those sob's (poisonous or not) and kill them on sight.
 
There's a big ass Gopher snake (5-6 footer) that lives in the barn. It makes a hissing sound just like a rattler when it's surprised. Every once in awhile I'll go out there and come across that bastard. Never fails to scare the life out of me until I see what it is. All those years in Florida made me paranoid about rattlesnakes.

Picture that snake hissing and then an owl doing a close fly-by, all at the same time. Thankfully, there's no banana spiders to run into!
 
That was pretty interesting to me actually. When I looked at the pic I woulda bet money the spider was actually a black widow. When I looked up the spider that it was identified as by an arachnologist (a brown button OR a BROWN widow), it solved the "mystery" in my mind. Both spiders are in the same genus, but are different species. The brown button (or brown widow), genus and species is a latrodectus geometricus. The black widow is a latrodectus mactans. It's also the one of the few damn things for which I actually know the technical name of.....I used to keep them as "pets". The hardest to find is actually a male. I used to find DOZENS of females (the ones most southerners are used to seeing), but only found a couple of males in the years that I had kept them.

More useless info you probably coulda lived the rest of your life without! :bowdown

WTF don't they eat the male when they are done screwing around? :sm_TMI

Or while.
 
Ever since I got bitten by a brown recluse (2008), I kill em when I see em. Little bastages.

It's common for them to do that, but not every time. The males are much smaller.
