Yes, he is Raven bait, that is for sure! Lots of birds and critters around here that would love to eat him. He is about 5 inches in diameter! A really juicy spider!! Ha! I am surprised he can survive up at this altitude of 7,000 feet. We get very cold and lots of snow in the winter.
LOL....That is the resident Tarantula that lives in the wood pile. Occasionally he takes a walk right past the front door of the house as seen here yesterday!!! Yikes!!!
