An eight legged friend who lives in my tub. - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

A couple months ago, I discovered this little spider living in my bathtub. He isin't there all the time, just a lot of times. Not in body, but in legs in length and all, I'd say he's about as big as a golf ball. His little body is shaped like an upside down dorrito, lol!
At first i was scared of him, and wanted him dead, but then I thought, "What would Wilt do?", and then I actually got over my fear, little by little. But he seems harmless enough. Never going anywhere.
And here's a thing, he can't seem to crawl out of the tub. The little thing tries and treis, takes a break for a day or two, and then tries later. I've seen spiders WAY smaller, and bigger, crawl outta my tub better than he can.
I named him Little Guy. Not that I'd want to actually pick him up, but I've grown accustomed to him as a friend, mabe even as a little pet. And sometimes he looks flat, sleeping?, and I get scared thinking he might've got squished! So, just to make sure, I actually either bang on the ledge or kick the tub and he jolts like he got startled out of his sleep, lol

.

Just thought I muight share Little Guy wth everybody.

Oh, he sounds so cute! Well...for a spider anyway. Sure hope nobody squishes him.

You are right not to touch him/her. You never know if a spider is poisonous or not,so be on the safe side.

Your very own "IF" only he's real!

I like that WWWD thing. That's funny.

Are you sure he wants to be in the bathtub? The spiders here all like hiding behind stuff so he might feel a bit exposed. Go on, pick him up and put him somewhere he'd like to be. Use gloves if you're nervous but I'm sure it'll be fine.

On a related note, if you had a spider web with silk the thickness of your wrist it would be strong enough to stop a 747 at full speed. Jeepers!

Yeah, I got the "WWWD?" idea from that "WWJD?" saying. I just had to say that

.

But yeah, you're right, mabe he likes my tub. And I could never touch a spider! I'm too afraid! Well, mabe one day I'll get up the guts to atleast pet him. You know, I don't even know if it's a he or she. I always make assumptions on animals without looking, lol!
