oooh, this was in the news a while back, but looks like they've made a new discovery about it, how amazing... the size of a full grown retic or burm blows my minds but this - nature is awesome!

I know! The so called "monster" snakes we have now are amazing but this is just something else... It says they found turtles aswell the size of kitchen tables or something, it's just amazing!

I know you can but you shouldnt! Lol they're awesome!

Sod that! I wouldn't live in a world of spiders that size! I'd take on the big dinosaurs and the 50ft snakes but even the littlest of spiders reduce me to a quivering wreck! Lol
