In a public toilet building in a national park in townsville a mate and i were making use of the urinals, looking above eye level as blokes do, i noticed one of these bad-boy huntsmen about 3 feet above my mates head, and it was about the size of his head too!! Which is about the size of a volley ball across, biggest huntsman i have ever seen, and upon telling him to look up, once he noticed the 8 legged friend, he jumped like a startled gazelle thus ending up with his own urine all over himself!! One of the funniest things i have ever seen!! And yeah, that spider was a monster!! Awesome critters though, its great when you find an overly confident one and gee it up, to have it chase you across grass is funny to see. Then leaving it to be on its merry way of course!!!
 
we get alot of big ones around here too, not quite volley ball size though.
this guy has been hanging around for a long while, and we just moved into a new house and i brought him with us because i thought the girl who brought our house might kill him.
 
EEK! good pic, just still cant overcome my innate fear? of em! prefer scaleys. :D

Volleyball sized Sherm? *gives look of "yeah right!', was this after a hard night out? :lol:

Good on you Hayley! what a lovely thing to do.


Love those feeding shots... Thanks for sharing.

Do you handle him? I have done in the past (and my eldest boy does frequently - regardless what I say) - I hear they give a pretty nasty bite...

But still good to have around the house...

Nah, all true mate. We were on a dry-camp exercise so no booze for us that time round. :)
