Thank you to the person that posted a video of the 6 eyed sand spider (Sicarius Terrosus‏) ... I fell in love with it's cuteness!
This was the video another member posted in the spider thread
I purchased one yesterday. Arrives from Germany Wednesday. I'll get some images when it arrives.
One bite from this thing and you either lose your limb, or death is certain. No anti venom exists.
Note ... I absolutely HATE house spiders. They scare the shit out of me. But, one of the worlds most deadly ... are beautiful. Not that I'll be touching it. Caring for it with extreme care! Can't be worse than my old pokie ... that fucker was a nasty bastard!

By cuteness do you mean hideousness?

If this spider could climb glass there would be no chance I'd keep it. But genuinely, I find it cute.

Yo, what's up with you and spiders? I thought you disliked them from that other thread, now you have a very venomous one being delivered to you???...
Fuck that...
I have enough in my place already, don't need a highly venomous one in a cage.

I can't stand house spiders, they freak me the fuck out. Ugly little things that can't be kept under control. Any spider that can be kept under control so it can't escape I don't mind. Anything that crawls on me when I sleep is freaky.

After reading this thread and seeing the pictures within, I am now never going to get to sleep because the smallest thing that brushes any part of my body will have me running around my room screaming "OH FUCK IT'S ON ME! I FEEL LIKE IT'S ON ME!"
Great.

Can't post pic since I am on my phone, but fuck you if you think any spider is cute. On a related note, a friend of a friend has two pet tarantulas that just wander around his house at will. I never will go to his place ever again.
