You have got to admit this is beautiful, the Peacock spider from Australia
 
"Peacock spider"

Picture doesn't show on my computer - just the kind of spider I like though - invisible.

And not poisonous? That makes a change...

Would prefer a real peacock, though.

I thought it was brilliant, esp when he wiped his eyes with his palps, like a biker wiping the rain off goggles with a glove thumb.   Then his funny display-face like a clown, but she's not impressed and eats him instead      Amazing footage.  Thanks Bionic 
 
I like spiders as they eat flies which I do dislike intensely.  I would never squash a spider and go to great lengths to rescue them from sticky situations without actually touching them or having them running up my arms     (I don't like them THAT much  )

I had a look on google images and agree it's an incredibly pretty spider.  It's also very small, so I could definitely cope with one of those.   I never kill spiders either and usually catch them in a glass.  I am ok with them until they reach a certain size!

I like spiders...that one is pretty but they do have a great character. Its snakes I detest, even looking at a photo of one makes me shudder!!

[Bionic]

Now thats funny Sandy, I love snakes. They don't feel as you would expect them i.e. slimy. With something big like a boa it feels warm and like the muscles on a mans arm.

[happygolucky]

Well, not a fan of muscle men either
We watched a programme about 2 people looking for Anacondas in the swamps, that programme gave me a few horrid nightmares

This is one of mine, we are having a hug (Brazilian rainbow boa if your interested, he's about 6ft long)

[happygolucky]

  ARRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[HappyHippy]

Much prefer your Rainbow Boa to your death head cockroachy things Alistair *shudder*

I've got a photo in an album somewhere of me cuddling an albino corn snake (well, 2 actually  ) will have to dig it out - I like snakes

Much prefer your Rainbow Boa to your death head cockroachy things Alistair *shudder*

Definitely agree with Karen

Not feeling the love for the spider    but here's a pic of my Eloise when she was 5 with 'Marmalade'. She's going to be a vet, apparently (Eloise, not the snake )

[Bionic]

thats a lovely picture. She looks intrigued by the snake.

Sorry but you can keep your 6 legged hairy crawlers and your wrigglies slimey skinned snakes.. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr
