I get that feeling too because he was angry at kitty for playing with it. If it were my home, my cat, and that spider. You'd better believe I'd be cheering kitty on.

The huntsman is native to parts of america...

This vid is from aus, but it's a huntsman and you can get similar spiders in america.

See, in my house... with those spiders (looks like a huntsman)... if it is out in plain site, near main traffic areas, then yeah, get a glass, put it over it, slide some card under and let it go outside... if it goes and hide... leave it alone. They're great spiders, get rid of mosquitoes and flies... handy to have around.

Oh and "This vid is from aus, but it's a huntsman and you can get similar spiders in america." Erm, no it's not, those are American power points, silly things they are.

Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure!

Let it go? He let it go?!?!?

We wear shoes for a reason - the same reason shotguns were invented. To kills spiders and other creatures with more than 4 legs.

If he wonders why he gets massive spiders, it's because he let's them go. If he killed it and impaled it on a screwdriver on the lawn for all to see, they wouldn't come around.

i've checked out this dudes website... from his blog i can tell that he lives in dallas. I also live in the dallas area and have never seen so many spiders anywhere near the size of these spiders just running throughout people's houses in my life. but at the same time he seems too genuinely afraid of it for them to be his pets. weird.
perhaps he lives in the new developments sprawling across the northeast side of the metroplex that is encroaching on the part of north texas that is basically oklahoma. reason #49 DFW should quit growing.... it will soon annex oklahoma, which is the land of meth, cigarettes and freakishly large insects with too many sets of legs.

also, he should call me for spider removal,i'm close and he sucks at it.

Guys, it wasn't THAT big. I didn't have a sense of scale until the scene where he uses the tape measurer to get it to drop down. Something like that COULD be in my garage at some point (in my worst nightmares, mind you), and I've certainly seen spiders that big around and about in California.

It did seem slightly too well produced to be 100% real, or maybe I just think that because with me it would be far less filming and far more screaming.

I think you need to go back and look at that video again. You can see the power points at the end of the video when the camera has been dropped. They're top left and they don't look a lot like the merkin ones, but look an awful lot like aussy ones. The accent is a hint too.

This is why I'm a strong proponent of the right to keep and bear flamethrowers.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Old Spice guy would tell him to sack up.

Hes not a very good actor. The human that is.

Lets see if you still say that when you wake up one morning with one of those on your face.

Actually, that's a horrible idea. How do I know?
A certain dumbass (with whom I am no longer acquainted) once saw a huge spider on his front lawn, grabbed a nearby spray paint can, sprayed it, then lit it. (He is deathly afraid of spiders.) The spider promptly ran, still flaming mind you, directly under the house. Let's just say the fire department had to get involved and there was much damage. All over a flaming spider...
I'm more of a *squish* & it's over kinda person myself, but then if everyone did that we wouldn't have these entertaining videos.

Um... check again. He's from Dallas, that's a US accent, and those are US powerpoints.

Yeash.

I actually find the spider to be quite cute.

You see they are very clever in deed the spider is only there to distract you from the fact that this guy has some major ADD and is easily distracted by paint, cats, and toads.

This is an Australian power point, the ones in the video are not

Regarding the video itself, that spider seemed pretty docile, the last huntsman I found in my house here in Australia was insanely fast, tried for a while to catch it to let it outside but alas it was R.I.P. Mr. Spidee as others in the house are freaked more than myself with even harmless arachnids skittering around inside.
