I don't know what kind it is, but it looks like it might kill us all. It's obviously the evil kind. I would call the alien exterminators in. I wouldn't risk jumping on it, or it might explode into deadly slime that will burn a hole in your shoe and floor.

Dude I used to fight spiders all the time when I was a kid. Then the surviving spider would go on to fight a scorpion.
Black Widows and Wolf Spiders were usually the winners.

haha... You probably wouldn't even notice it. Thats a jumping spider... biggest one I've ever seen was about 2cm. Most are more in the range of 5-10mm. Tiny things, really.

Seriously. I've seen my share of big spiders in my house and even in my bed but shit, a black widow? No way!!
Now crockroaches are another story... I've had hundreds of them flying into my room once. Couldn't sleep in there for weeks!

10 ft away from our tent, we found a HUGE spider that made its home in the ground... it was big and hairy, my friend wanted to keep it as a pet. as we were packing up we found a giant wolf spider on our tent... so we put the 2 spiders together. the hairy spider bit the wolf spider, then proceeded to eat it!

In my head I have a spider boogy-woogying to the Dead and going "I'm your conscience! Scooby doo, Scooby dah. Ooops, gotta go, the Feds after me. Later!" Now i see Jerry and a bunch of colorful fans. I like spiders, they do good things. Bye.

I am a closet adrenaline junky. Spiders are easy for me to deal with. I have a hard time understanding why they are feared by so many people. my first two pets were turantulas. Handeling a black widow is easy after getting used to some of the other animals in my house.

I thought we used to have some amzing spiders where I grew up... until I moved to the Caribbean. I have seen a few spiders down here larger than my fist. There is nothing like seeing a trantula the size of a tennis ball come out of the shower drain to wake one up first thing in the morning.

Are those your snakes? I've thought about keeping hot snakes. Then I realized that it'll be about 15k in hospital bills if I get bitten.

Yes, they are my snakes. Posted are my albino Monocled cobra, albino Diamondback. I also have cottonmouths, massasugua, mohave desret rattlers, timbers,and pymgies. The alligator is not mine. My gator is only 4.5 feet. I used to tell people it was dog tame, until I realized that every puppy I've ever played with chewed the hell out of me. My gator Boots, has never tried to bite.
The secret to avoiding the high medical bills is to not get bit. It's not a hobby for everyone. You have to have BIG BALLS or a little brain. I think I have the big balls. I've kept hot snakes off and on for over 18 years without getting bit.

The fuck is wrong with you? I would move out that day, that minute, no lie. Well the pregnant widow wouldn't have been in my house in the first place!

Even a tiny spider in my bed would scare the shit out of me, I'm lucky to never have had that experience.
I've once heard that humans on average consume approximately 9 spiders per year, most of which enter your mouth while you are asleep and you don't even notice that you've eaten them. Then again, this factoid did not necessarily originate from a reliable source - still a thought that has stuck with me for over six years
Here's a nice juicy fatassed spider that crawled its way up onto the base of my computer monitor back in 2003 when I was living in Santa Cruz, California. Now that I'm back in southern California, I see all sorts of garden variety spiders, coupled with the ocassional black widow that likes to chill in the crawl spaces below the house.
I've also been rudely awakened in the middle of the night, walking to the front door of my mother's house in the foothills right by a national forest at the northern end of the Los Angeles basin. There are these absolutely huge (seen one with a solid 3" legspan) spiders that create new webs every evening. This is one spider you do not want to hit you in the face - and I've had some chillingly close calls! It may not be poisonous, but it surely looks more intimidating than any of the other spiders we have around here. My friends and I used to refer to them as "crab spiders" cause they look like a crab so giant and fatty.. but upon reading about crab spiders, it seems those are most certainly not what we'd seen since they're too small. I believe what I'm speaking about is a Araneus Diadematus:

I was in my backyard once when I was a kid, poking at a hole in the fence with a stick, and a huge black widow jumped out and CHASED me all the way across the yard until I managed to close the sliding glass door behind me.
I refused to go outside for a day or two. I hate spiders.
