Stormy's a good kid after all.

Stormy found her spider hiding in a box of drawing supplies. We quickly taped the box shut, then walked down the street to the hardware store to buy a pipe clamp. Using some metal screening left over from when I replaced a damaged window screen, we clamped that sucker into its bowl but tight.

For all the emotionalism, I'm glad it didn't come to me bug-bombing her spider to death. And I'm going to let her keep it, as long as she keeps it in its damn cage.

you're a better man then I. If it where me dealing with this the time between being informed that said horrible eight legged nightmare was out and the call of "fire in the hole" would have been limited only by the minimum safe transit time to the nearest hardware store. But then I'm a 'phobe to begin with so I guess I'm a bad example.

All this fuss. I thought tarantulas were pretty benign.
