Lol awww. So you'd never actually get it out and play with it huh? :p Can they spin webs that are habitable? I can imagine one of them on the loose would make a mighty big web thatd probably get your cat stuck haha. And as for the crickets being on the loose omg!!!!  |

Wow I didnt know that O_O I didnt even know daddy long legs were spiders... I thought they had 6 legs lol. Anyway I'm not sure it's the being venomous that bothers me, it's just... them moving. [:s] |

the only webs they really spin is a mat to sit and shed on, though one of mine has webs up the front of the tank so i cant see in properly lol.

I qoute - The Sydney funnel spider (Atrax robustus) of Australia is often quoted as being the spider with the most dangerous venom.
On the other hand; according to the Guinness Book of Records the world’s most venomous spiders is the Brazilian wandering spider (Phoneutria nigriventer).

I always hear of the brown Recluse being the deadliest, or the Funnel Web. Either way, I wouldn't like a bite off either. 
Snakes on a plane, rofl. I really couldnt believe they made a film called that. -_-
edit: "One urban legend that persists is that Daddy Long-legs are actually the deadliest spider in the world, but their mouths are too small to bite humans. There are several reasons why this myth has no value. First, Daddy Long-legs can refer to several species of spiders, and even the crane fly. Second, research on venom has not verified that spiders identified as Daddy Long-legs are particularly venomous." |
