If I were the guy that lived in that house, I would freaking MOVE!!!

They like warm places, sometimes freaky waking up with one beside you or on your face.

I disapprove of non-vegetarian spiders.

Spiders in Florida have been known to eat chicken.

Dang, K, if the spiders are that ferocious, WHAT, pray tell, is eating the spiders, etc?

Guess every area has it's threatening species.

In SC, we have exactly these dangerous animals:

Rattlesnakes: Three types - Canebrake, Pygmy, and Diamondback (Can kill):






Copperhead (deaths are rare, but will make you VERY sick):


Cottonmouth (Can kill):


Coral Snake (Can kill):


Alligator (Can kill):


Black Widow Spider (Deaths rare - but can make you very sick):


Brown Recluse Spider (Deaths rare - but can make you very sick, will toxin will destroy flesh):


Black Bear (Deaths are very rare, but have occurred):


Wild Dogs (Feral dogs are common in some remote areas - particularly packs can be very dangerous):


Wild Hogs (Deaths are very rare, but they can do major physical harm - and they can be huge - 400 lbs and up)

Actually,

They are found on the east coast. I ran into one here in Florida. He told me that he migrated east from California, because the cost of living was too much there. Rats and mice were too expensive.

OK, HERE is a SC Eastern Diamondback Rattler:

[RickD]

That's a very pretty snake.

Poor snake. People cant stand to just let things be.

Tastes like chicken.

I'd poo poo in my pants if I ran into one of those guys. I don't like "hot" snakes, although back during my zoological days, I owned a couple of snakes - a King snake and a Red-Tailed Boa. I've held large pythons. But I'm probably more wary of copperheads, as they are so abundant where I live. Found three sheds in my garage - a mother and two newborns - that ain't good!

[AreEl]

A very attractive snake. Is that Audie?
