Default My Resident Spiders!

I see that many are afraid of creepy crawlies they might encounter over here. I thought it might be helpful to see some photos of my two resident spiders, who are large, but completely harmless....
the first is the Daddy Wire Legs and the second is the Green Bodied Faux spider..
