I'd sooner have a house of Huntsmans than a cat !!!

I'm wondering how my dog will cope with ANYTHING in the garden, let alone Huntsmen!

Very soon we'll be catching him tossing frogs round the garden! He don't mean to kill them, I think just curious of them.

I'm just a little worried as the Huntsmen might not take too well to that ...lol

Keep an eye out for those bloody cane toads! I don't know if they are on the qsld coast though, but they are POISONOUS to dogs !! So make sure you ask a local veternarian about local dangers dangers to your pets and how to minimise any potential for harm

Do you get many black window spiders!!!!!! we never get any on our upvc windows must be because there's no camaflouge on the white surround!

I spent far too much time today investigating exactly which spiders are in Victoria. I am not pleased!

Thank god for Aussie spiders, otherwise there would be 200,000 Poms immigrating down here every year instead of 20,000. :D
