I scream and run in the other direction when I see one. Not proud of that fact, but I am proud of the speed with which I flee and the pitch I hit as I scream! I've made bats go, "What the hell did he just say?" as I ran by! :shock:

That's sooo funny, we do herpetology and sometimes i'll hear him scream and take off like a jet...Copperhead? rattler? i ask no just a small spider! :ROFL2: :ROFL2: :ROFL2: :ROFL2: :ROFL2: :ROFL2:

I LOVE these guys, I wish I had the space and resources to keep one as a pet, they are made of pure, concentrated awesome. Apparently, they do taste good, which is one of the reasons they're gone from a number of islands they used to inhabit.

_I_ want to make the crab happy! A crab with a 3 foot armspan would rule, it would be like getting to have one of those face hugger aliens as a pet! Big meals of fresh food, giant sand pit with dried tree trunks to climb on, acrylic plates along the walls so it can't tear through the sheetrock, massive stainless steel caging on the viewing half of the space for air flow... containing an animal that can pick open a coconut is work, they can apparently learn to open simple mechanical or spring latches pretty quickly too, so locks or twisted wire are recommended to keep their cage shut.

It wouldn't surprise me if you could ride on it's back!

Tiny crabs are very strong for their size so this thing must be pretty powerfull
