Rimmer Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 He was maybe 4" across, GF said don't touch him and went into hysterics saying it was a dangerous one. I have searched google but can't find anything much about spiders in Thailand. I suspect Lampard10 is closest so far to identyfying him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary A Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I don't like spiders or insects for that matter. We had a large Huntsman that took residence in the house. Apparently they are quite territorial and if you see one it is not likely that you will see another. My wife told me that he could give you a nasty bite but it was not likely because he is VERY shy. If he were on the floor somewhere he had a habit of jumping straight up in the air and getting out of sight as quickly as possible. One day a Took Gae got in the house. The next day I saw the spider had a front leg missing and the next day I didn't see him and have not seen him since. My wife finally got the Took Gae cornered under the microwave. I lifted the microwave up and she grabbed the lizard bare handed and threw him outside. I have heard that the lizard can give a nasty bite too but she told me that she knew what she was doing. She must have known because it looked like a good grab and she DIDN'T get bit. She told me that the Took Gae "kee mak mak". (Big turds). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdinasia Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 (edited) well ... one of them just visted my house in Phuket ... WOW! that sucker is FAST! I'll try and herd him outside if I see him again ... but wow! Edited July 5, 2006 by jdinasia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I've had quite a few of them--always 1 at a time. I usually wait for them to get into the kitchen, open the door and chase them out. They are usually on the wall, but I can heard them along until they get outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good thing!! If you really can't stand living with them just get them on a broom and put them outside. At about 1/100,000 of your size they're not going to eat you.

Nignoy Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Have a look at this link alsohuntsman is definitely a thai huntsman , pretty prolific in the north east, can give you quite a nasty nip, its poison can be deadly to children, bite wounds can take months to heal, very resistant to anti biotics as I found out personally a few years back, my advices quash it Nignoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thankuverybig Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 i noticed that spiders here in thailand seem to be a lot quicker than in europe & some seem to be able to jump. why is this? i know,i need to get out more. i was surprised to see a spider which was the size & shape of a tarantula in the road a couple of months back,i gently poked it with a stick & it reared on its back legs & actually hissed. very impressed,i was a bit gutted when it got run over as i sat in the bar.

teletiger Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 He looks cute but dont know which species. Anybody knows ? The first two pics are orb-web spiders. ( they build a fuzzy X in the middle of their web) The third pic looks like some kind of gnat. regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbk Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I leave spiders alone, I was in the bathroom once and a big spider jumped out and ate a cockroach right in front of me. Anything that eats cockroaches can stay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soju Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I leave spiders alone, I was in the bathroom once and a big spider jumped out and ate a cockroach right in front of me. Anything that eats cockroaches can stay! Sorry, but I have to draw the line on 'anything'. Chickens love to eat cockroaches, but having them inside the house is just way too messy and smelly. Don't know if snakes eat cockroaches or not, but again would not want the poisonous variety in my house. For me, non-poisonous spiders and geckos would be more than welcome if I had a cockroach problem.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, OK, exaggeration, you got me But, I won't kill a large non-poisonous spider just because it happens to be a spider.

spiderlady Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Most European spiders make webs. Most Asian spiders do not The first ones sit in their web and wait. The Asian ones have to hunt. That's why they need speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
