Given where you would be if you were, the probability is not unlikely!

I am not sure which is more scary from spiders or snakes.

There is a very practical and biological reason why insects and arachnids cannot exceed a certain size, even if the have been exposed to Zeta-klux radiation in the Ntambio desert from an alien spaceship from the plant Tharg. It's to do with oxygen diffusion, spiracles, lack of lungs and surface area/volume ratio.

'a certain size' is big enough thank you.

I have a dead tarantula (safely in a glass case) that is about 10inches across and has 2cm long fangs!

Nothing like a bit of tabloid journalism to wind you lot up.

The spider in the pic was the only one that size and it's dead, the rest of the family are not mutants like this one and are just the usual ( monster ) size.

They are centimers, 10 incriments between the numbers, if it was in inches it would have 16 wouldnt it?
