Random Question, Huntsman Spider

[LittleFlame]

I have been wondering for awhile, do Huntsmans spin webs? Or do they only use webs to wrap up their pray?
I would look on a site, but I am very scared of them lolz, well every kind of spider. I nearly drank a spider once, not good

Have fun, LittleFlame

In the genus Isopoda, the male and female Huntsman spiders have a lengthy courtship, which involves mutual caresses, with the male drumming his palps on the trunk of a tree. He then inserts his palps into the female to fertilise her eggs. The male is rarely attacked, unlike some other species, and in fact many huntsman spiders live peacefully together in large colonies. A silken retreat is often built for egg laying, as well as for moulting. Some species of Neosparassus build a silken retreat in foliage, often at ground level, by binding several leaves together with silk, while others construct shallow burrows or move into abandoned cicada burrows.

Here's your answer.

You should watch Eight Legged Freaks. It starts out a little scary and then turns completely ridiculous (funny)...

Plus no way that any real spider is ever going to freak you out after you've seen that flick.

I've been told watch it a few times, lol. But I'm still a bit weary. I mite this w.e, thanks for the surgestion. Oh and by the way my bf wants to get a spider for a pet. lolz

[{aspiring_to_clarity}]

Oh, I am fascinated by spiders. When I was little there was a summer program at the library where they brought in lots of snakes and spiders. I held a tarantula in my hand. I was eight so it was as big as my palm. It took about ten kids to carry around the biggest snake they had. Good times.

What kind of spider does your bf want to get? Are you cool with that?

[LittleFlame]

He was thinking about getting a baby bird-eating spider. There quite cheap. at the moment, but poisonous, I am cool with it, like that's what he wants to do, he can do it. But all I said is if he gets it, he cant have it in the bedroom.
I recon a spider would be a wicked pet but just scary. Do you have any favourite spiders?
