No problem. Given the lack of direction.... i will assume red Although it could be white... They are smaller. No problem

Fuzz AI Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 1 hour ago, oliverdst said: Is she poisonous? Poisonous? Not at all.... but they are venomous. The venom of a huntsman is very low risk to humans. The bite however, can be painful, due to the size. Huntsman are timid and will run away instead of biting. They are lightning fast.

Understandable, but I guess I was wondering more about aggression to humans. You and Fuzz answered above. Could you do a favor...? It's awfully difficult to judge its size in the picture. Maybe go lay and Punch SS1 next to her for some reference...? I'm thinking you must still have some on hand....
alloy Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Is she upside down? How does your postman deliver your mail?

awkwardPause Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Effffff that. We’d never see our postal worker again....which wouldn’t be a problem since I’d be getting a P.O. box anyway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
