Good god man, thats the exact b-day of one of my longest run of Scorrpio ex's AGH your not stalking me are you?! *lmao* Serious though, great in the sack, sh!te at managing their temper & love to fight dirty in arguements! Not that its a sweeping generalisation or anything :lol: :p

Re: Snakes and Spiders in Canada?
 

I was in Florida earlier this year, and took the wife and kids into the Forest's and saw snakes - even some hanging out of tree's! - was a good experience though (at a safe distance) and at the RV parks, I had to be careful when plugging the power cord into the box, as spiders seemed to love hiding under the cover!

Florida is a great place to visit, but don't know if I'd want to live there - although only recently found out snakes can make it through the winter in Canada!

Re: Snakes and Spiders in Canada?
 

Thousands live in 1 big Ball during the winter here and spring time unwind and go off on their own. But how many are Poisonous in Manitoba. 0

Re: Snakes and Spiders in Canada?
 

Well that gives me an idea............ find them when they're all asleep, and roll the big ball of them down to the USA!:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Seriously though, I'm not that bothered about them - just curious thats all.

Re: Snakes and Spiders in Canada?
 

You could even make a movie.... "Snakes in a Ball" :p

Re: Snakes and Spiders in Canada?
 

LOL!! Karma sent to you for that cheesy comment that still got me to laugh anyway ;) :lol:

Re: Snakes and Spiders in Canada?
 

Can't beat 'em, eh?

Danke. :)

Re: Snakes and Spiders in Canada?
 

Maybe we could fly all our poisonous snakes up to Canada. ERM! No, thats been done, I seem to remember, flying snakes that is lol.

Re: Snakes and Spiders in Canada?
 

Florida scorpions may look nasty, but our scorpions species here rarely kill anyone. If they sting you its posible you would get sick, but unless you had an existing disease or something, they can't kill you. (At least thats what I have been told, but I am not getting close enough to find out lol)

.

There are scorpions in Alberta and B.C like the rattlers and black widows you will seldom see them. The brown recluse spider shows up once in a while, now that is one nasty critter, I wont gross you out but if your inclined do a google image search "recluse spider bite". Fortunately as the name implies they are quite reclusive! We also have constrictors, the bull snake and the rubber boa.

Re: Snakes and Spiders in Canada?
 

morbid fascination made me google what you put, those pics are nasty! Never seen a spider bite do that before!! :ohmy:

Re: Snakes and Spiders in Canada?
 

I see your Brown Recluse spider pics (yuck btw), and raise you one story:

Re: Snakes and Spiders in Canada?
 

OMG thats horrible!! Why oh why do people keep deadly 'pets' in their homes?! I bet that German guy must have realised how stupid he was to keep a Black Widow in his house before he died.

Saying that, I've had friends that kept boa constrictors as pets in their house... needless to say, I refused to visit them :frown:

To me a pet is defined by : Can be petted and enjoys being petted domesticated creature... that excludes all reptiles and insects straight off the bat *lol* ;)

Re: Snakes and Spiders in Canada?
 

Sounds like a nutcase, a typical loner.

Re: Snakes and Spiders in Canada?
 

I think it will be hard for anyone to top that story!

I wouldn't like the job of clearing his house out............
