Snuggles
So, "Snuggles" the spider turned up in my bed the other day. I found him in the morning when I was stripping the bed to do the laundry. He was too majestic and horrifying to just discard or free willy-nilly. I ended up keeping him for almost 5 days. I upgraded his "cage" so he'd have more room to move around and catch bugs. Speaking of which, I'm so crazy that I began feeding him aphyids and a giant mosquito. Then, I decided that he had to go. He appeared to be getting more angry as our time together grew from one night into days. I let him go, but I did it waaaay across the street and made sure he went down the alley away from my house. Anybody wanna tell me what the hell he is based on his photo below? Click on the photo to make it bigger (if you dare).

Look Who I Found In My Bed
Look who I found in my bed when I was taking the sheets off today to do laundry. I guess he slept in my bed with my last night.
Please note that he is shown next to my cell phone for a size comparison and he takes up the better part of a postcard address area. It is the biggest spider I have ever personally seen with my own eyes, and I found it in my bed. I scooped him up and am deciding whether to make him a pet or set him free.
