    That's normal!!!!???

    I remember when my husband first told me about the camel spiders he encountered on his 'military tour'. It still freaks me out

    I'm assuming he just wanders around his own 'part of the house' and doesn't interfere with your 'living arrangements'?

    Yer! He eats the mozzies. I guess thats why he's so big. Actually when I opened the door gently he just backed up a bit and let me out.

    Manners or no manners, I think it's time to send it to God. Maybe Madrat's military man could send a battalion or two with Weapons of Mass Destruction to wipe it out.

    no, no, no.......
    There's bad karma in that!!!!

    I don't want any part of Fluffy or Harry's possible payback, if we interfere.

    Just the photo's of them 'perched' on someone's hand is scaring the c**p out of me.

    Take a close look at Fluffy. It has its tooth extended in a sneaky attempt to fang Underfoot. That, or it's spitting on him.

    Just say the word and the tin of Mortein will be on its way, guys.

    no no no,
    tooth extention in huntsmen is a sign of friendship

    isn't it ?
    no?
    well, ...... that would explain a few things then.

    Harry is not as big as Fluffy. Its just a trick of proportion on the macro photo. And I cropped it and stuff. there is nothing to give you a sense of scale. And I'm not picking Harry up.

    See? He's not THAT big. Underfoot's pet would win.

    I am so impressed with you TL to take the time to measure him .

    Seriously, I thought he was the size of a friggin football


    I couldn't help it Incoming, I had to enlarge Fluffy to see the tooth thing!!!

    All I can say Underfoot, is put him down gently and back away.......

    In this case, size really does matter......

    I'm worried about Harry. He's still sitting in th same spot he was in yesterday, and the day before. Is there a doctor in the house?

    I would offer the services of my 4 year old nephew, but..............
    (flashback to 'ant-reaction')


    Maybe Harry's just pondering life

    As much as their hairy legs freak me out, I do hope he is OK.....

    Dr Incoming recommends you use a hammer to test Harry's reflexes. Be sure to get a good swing - accuracy is important - and give a several sharp taps between the eyes. If he doesn't move after landing a few good ones, then you can probably assume that he is ..... resting. Sorry Madrat - I'll risk the bad karma!

    Ooooooh, you are dicing with arachnad death!!!

    If you smack him, he probably has his own eight legged army behind TL's wall clock and if they see you 'operate' in that manner, they will fly off the wall and fang you on the face.

    Never under estimate the hairy ones.....
