Good thing that big spider wasn't really angry or interested in biting it's owner's hand. No rearing up to drive those big fangs in - those bites look pretty half hearted to me, still, not something I'd like to experience - not a spider lover.

I prefer to admire them from a safe distance unless I know they are harmless.

Not really biting, more kneading like a cat does when it wants to sleep... interesting. Wonder what the behavior means...

Very interesting. If the spider wanted to bite he definitely would have. I'm always surprised by animals.
