Can spiders live in your ear?

A couple of years back, I also woke up in a room in which a female Chilean rose tarantula had given birth, and the eggs had hatched during the night. Couple of hundred tiny tarantula's...

The cage containing them was left open overnight. I was in a sleeping bag on the floor.

Sorry, not helping again am I?

Nah, there were maybe 20 on me. I actually woke up becuase one of them was on my face.

I woke my mate up, we sealed the room & went to a local pet shop. The guy there agreed to loan us a couple of pet cages, and in exchange, he got as many of them as we could put in the cages. That was a couple of trips backwards & forwards.

When he said enough was enough, we used the cages to round up more & dropped them off at the nearest RSPCA centre, who I'm guessing will of forwarded them to zoo's & pet shops etc.

My mate was finding them for weeks apparently.

That's not the most pleasant of wake-up calls!

I think blueto is soon to become an agorophobe as well as an insomniac, oh and will never buy fruit again

In the words of Frazer from Dad's army.....You're DOOOOOMED!

They also end up in containers from china, no idea what they are but they are real big feckers.

Supposed to get the whole thing fumigated, but hitting them with a brush/shovel works lol
