i'm an arachnophobe and all i can do is thank the universe that my mom didn't squat and drop me in australia. i'd die. i've seen that 'look at me, i'm a sneaky spider hiding up under the handle of your car door hee hee spray me with bug spray, won't work' vid. i've seen all the vids. i would burn australia to the ground.

i will freely admit to being a wimp.

i'm a huge arachnophobe and australia sounds like it would be a nightmare for me.

i'm a huge arachnophobe in the uk, and i have a friend in the us who swears she will never come here because of our house spiders

the pictures with rulers and the mention of acromantulas may have been a bad call. okay so they call them "giant house spiders" but they're only like hand-sized...

do you have spiders whose venom can kill you in as little as 15 minutes, if you're unlucky

(Anonymous) 2016-04-29 08:52 am (UTC)(link)
actual rural australian here, can verify that the most you will see is a fuckton of daddy long legs and maybe ONE redback. one. maybe. that's the most i've seen anyway.

don't worry about spiders my guy. worry about fucking snakes. we have a lot of snakes, usually browns, but you can't trust any snake because apparently the green tree snakes can breed with browns so you have a harmless looking snake that could probably half fuck you up so that's when you gotta be near a sharp implement because unlocking the gun cabinet takes too fucking long you gotta chop that fucker's head off you hear me

i hate snakes so much.

Man, I grew up in the US Southwest around a shit ton of rattlesnakes and I still would not hang out in rural Australia because of the snakes.

I mean, you have to be stupid or careless to get bitten by a rattlesnake, and they make a loud warning noise first so it's hard to be careless by accident. The vast majority of rattlesnake bites happen to drunk guys between the ages of 18 and 30 and are probably preceded by the words, "Hold my beer and watch this!"

You can live and let live with rattlers.

Brown snakes, though. Fuck brown snakes. You're braver than me.
