Well in the pythons case it's the fact that it's so big lets you know you are reasonable safe, after that run away from them all.

We've had both Brown Scorpions and Golden Scorpions in the house. The last time one was hiding under the pool table cover, when I took it off it reared up & I nearly shit myself. I've posted a pic on here somewhere I'll have to have a look for it.

Nice shot, he's practically smiling for the camera.

This was the one in my garden, I don't think I posted it earlier...



Every time I think about them when walking outside that song snakes in the grass always starts playing in my head.

The size of stick insects here you'd need a fish tank to keep them in.
