I was sweeping the kitchen floor & yepper there was a tarantula thar in my kitchen. put it in an empty container & let it go down the street. haven't seen those in a good while. just got to mention I did get one, a gift from my twin sis years ago, it was in a clear plastic box with a red ribbon.  wild gift!

NO JOKE! I am guessin that it was oklahoma tarantula, they might be hunting mates & also thrive on small insects, or mice. I almost had a heart attack when I seen it in my home, but calmed down & let it go. near a field, the only spiders I hate are the most venomous ones, black widow, brown recluse.

That's very impressive, Reb.  I would have caught it, but I wouldn't have known what to do with such a big spider afterwards.

the broom came in handy, a bit difficult, my hand as well had to gently guide it  in the plastic container, those creatures jumps too!

was gonna let it go outback, my neighbors pasture. but it was too dark, so I took it to another field where it was well lit. cause I didn't want to get it pissed as it probably was when I caught it. I am guessin it came from the garage, through the laundry room & made itself at home in the kitchen.

Don't Knock Off The State Of Texas because of wild creatures/critters. I can be a wild creature here as well as one member posted from one of the Texas  Toadies Fan on utube that had mentioned about our state here 

Oh btw, didn´t mean to disrespect Texas! Had it happened in any other country or state I would have left that aswel!

D 

It wasn't too fond of people (some of them like to cuddle) so cage-cleaning time was always interesting.

Glad you were able to save it, Reb. Real women come from TX!

Hell Yeah!!! thank ya 12rainbow, I read that the one I caught was the most calm one,  I have no idea about these purty things. well I think They are, purty.
