Put in a link because it's not for the squeamish.
Is that two spiders?
Yep, it is. Chop 'em in half... no, not through their middle, eeeew! where they're connected... and you have a single spider. Nice, eh?

Well then I think that they are downright cute! I wouldn't want to hold one because of the obvious danger, but it would be really cool if I could hold one without it biting me!![]()
What are you staring at?

Actually, is it just me or they look like a cross between a spider and a scorpian? In the second picture, if you scroll down a tad it does.

I happen to think that spiders are adorable.They are brilliant creatures that eat a lot of the nasty bugs that pester us and raid our gardens. It's fascinating to watch them move.
The bigger varieties are also very delicate. When I had a tarantua as a pet, I had to be very careful not to drop him. If a big spider is dropped from a height of more than a foot or so, they won't survive the fall because when they land, the force exerted on their legs travels up to where the legs join the body and that is the weakest part on a spider. If they're dropped, their body will split open at that weak point and they'll die shortly after from the trauma.
Most big tarantuas don't move very much because their legs don't use muscles like our's it is more of a pressure system that requires fluids. The only time they will move very quickly is to capture prey or when they're frightened.
Ispiders!
