I feel bad for ya'll. I was somehow born without that innate sense of fear of bugs, spiders, snakes... etc. I'm feeling really lucky right now. We let spiders live in our house, especially wolf spiders, because they eat other creepy crawly things.
Then again, we're also the family that has a gecko living in one of our rooms, who has found a way outside to hunt. It wasn't even our gecko that got loose, it just somehow lives here. It's big too, not like a house gecko, it has to be like 8 inches or so if that's possible.
