Spiders...

I'll just post some of the models observed last summer (have already arrived in our little indoor garden - spring is coming...).

FOR DESENSITIZATION PURPOSES ONLY!

I have a trantula and had a wonderfull goliath( giant bird eater). beautiful creatures really.
never been bitten by either one, but a tiny grass spider ugh swelled my hand up for 2 weeks, seems being alergic to bees will also make you allergic to spider bites, who knew.

While not afraid of spiders snakes rats bats mice etc, the one thing that will litterally set me into a panic, complete with panic attack, sweat and heart palpatations is a FROG!
I have nearly broken my neck trying to get away from the slimy things, eww eww eww.

Very pretty spiders, but what is that first one/ it kinda looks either busted apart or 2 spiders lol I cant tell.
Picture # 3 can come live with me any day ! very nice.

The first shot is an arachnid `love feast'. The female is just about finished with her erstwhile mate.

Snakes , spiders, rats, ghost ...none of that bothers me in the least....

I like to think I am not afraid of anthing....

But , if I encounter a centipede...also known as a ''thousand legger' I freak . Cant even look at a centipede .....

I really wish you would consider going through hypnotherapy and get rid of your fear of frogs. They are wonderful, wonderful creatures. I have a cd I listen to at night in the winter called "Frog Talk" because I miss it when they quit talking. One of the reasons I wanted to move to Arkansas was because we have 26 different kinds of frogs and toads here! There is nothing like having a tree frog curl up in your palm and rest. I frequently rescue tadpoles from puddles that are drying up. Frogs eat spiders and all sorts of nasty things that bite horses and people. Treasure them!
