More from Sev
So, growing up in Arizona, regularly playing with dangerious animals (see, poking diamond back rattlesnakes with sticks as father stands behind and laughs and feeding and playng with scorpions and tarantulas on regular basis), I am the only one that has any sort of back bone when it comes to arachnids in the apartment I am staying in right now. As in, if there is one in the place, I am one to remove it as I do not like to murder spiders needlessly as I consider most non-lethal creatures to be allowed to live. Granted, my roommate is highly allergic to most insect and spider bites, so I don't mind catching and releasing them from time to time.
Now, as we see here, this is one big bugger I found when helping to take out the trash. The closest I figure is one of the largest specimens of wolf spider I have seen in my life due to the eye shine in the pictures, and the markings. I have never seen one get larger than an inch in body. If anything, I'd have loved to keep it as a pet and give it a happy well fed lifestyle, but no one here would appreciate that.
And no, I did not kill it afterwards, we have a rule here, if it's outside, they live, if they are in the house, they are free game, but most times I am able to save them and release them back outside. If anything, I should have scooped him up and move him into a less populous area to better his chances of living. Instead I scooped it up and tossed it over a fence to the wooded area behind the apartment complex.

Which is what I mean, I haven't. Every brown spider I see, I look for the violin, but recluses, as their name implies, are really anti-people, and are recluses often not liking to close to people in cities. It's the more rural and outer suburbs that tend to have more issues with them. Though Bark Scorpions where always a threat when I lived in SC.
They tend to like to hang out more in woodpiles outside than houses from my studies of them. They are seen in homes often in some areas, but they mostly are recluses. Same with scorpions, they tend to not like to be IN homes but, can get there in search of homes, food, and mates. Garages tend to be where most deadly things like to hide though, a lot quieter than in say, a kitchen or living room.
It was a baby one, was an extremely cold day out and it was hiding in some rotting treehouse. When it fall out, it wasn't moving and was really lethargic, so I used a stick, held its head down, and picked it up in my hand. Then started breathing on it and rubbing it to warm it up till it seemed lively. Once it was lively enough, I threw it into the woods, the two 'badass' whiggers that where there where all freaked out about it and scared of it, while I warmed it up and stuff. XD
What was funny was, in school, one of them was a bully that harassed me and my friends and other people, but he was actually more of a Latino gansta, but out of school he and I could get along. For one, he had the brains to not throw the first punch, but try to goad the other person to do it.
The other was my next door neighbor, a red neck whigger, one time shattered his back door with a BB from my CO2 pistol he was fucking with. XD It stayed perfectly in the frame, but the entire window looked like it was covered in a bunch of spiderwebs.

That is how my roommate 
RenardFoxx feels, he never wants something like a spider close to him, but he is deeply fascinated by them. Just like, he loves jets and planes and by the gods one of the best pilots in Battlefield 3 I have seen, but he is terrified of heights.

Yeah, Arizona is nice, one of the top deadliest state in the US thanks to terrain, flora, fauna, and temperature. But I always loved going out to the ranch every summer, playing with dangerous animals, getting stepped on by horses, playing on rocks. I used to be so active as a kid in AZ, then we moved to Bluffton, SC where the closest bus stop was 16 miles away, and nothing worth even walking to. 10 years there really made me get all kinds of out of shape. XD
I love AZ, not for the politics and insanity, but for the heat and biodiversity. :) and I always say 'if you're gonna break the first rule of desert survival, which is to not put yourself in that situation in the first place, you should definitely know what you're getting into.' I love desert survival stuff. But now I'm up in Flagstaff... a biiig difference from the desert.
Yeah, I have been to Flagstaff when I was a kid, was really cold there and first time I ever saw snow. Like all silly desert dwellers, I went out into snow in shorts, a t-shirt, and barefoot just to see how cold it was. =P Desert Survival stuff is pretty easy in a place like Arizona, it's full of deadly animals, but there is a lot of vegitation and if you aren't afraid to kill animals you come across to eat, it's not hard. It's The Outback and Sahara Desert you gotta worry about as well as other deserts in Africa. Though If you are stuck in the Gobi Desert, pretty good chance you will die being it's the hottest desert in the world on average. XD Not to mention all the sand worms that live there that will kill and eat you. 8D
I used to live in a house with 9 snakes, two largest 11 and 10 feet long, 4 bearded dragons, an iguana we rescued from the desert. As well as 3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 ferrets, 2 saltwater fish tanks, 1 freshwater fish tank, and several Poison Dart frogs in various, beautiful colors. We'd have owned a chameleon too, but those need a lot of specific attention we couldn't provide for them, but we did own a horned lizard more commonly know as a "horny toad" till it as rehabilitated then released it back to the wild.
oh, sorry, I forgot to mention the mice, rats, and rabbits we raised too, far too many of those to count as we raised them for feeding. Sadly, rodents like mice and rats reproduce faster than can be fed to even 9 snakes. XD And the rabbits, well, they FINALLY gave birth, then as is common, the mother abandoned them and the litter died.
Centipedes, i give more credit to than spiders, cause they can be mean fuckers. My mother once owned a centipede as a pet though, never stung/bit her. Snakes are cool and easier to deal with though, I grew up harassing dangerous animals, then found out about Steve Irwin, and he taught me a lot more about proper way to harass animals. XD
I grew up in Arizona, I have seen plenty of large spiders, rarely am I effected, even have had some land on me and besides the initial surprise, i keep my calm. Really, I am more afraid of tarantulas, not for their bite, but the fact they can fling irritating hairs at your face with ease when irritated.
I liked IB for allowing me to upload a lot of pictures in one place without spamming it. But they are all about 'freedom to artists' but that is bullshit, cause photography is an art form too. Basically, unless it's a photo of something you made or was made for you, you can't post it on IB at all cause of a generic rule meant to make the site anti-human.
And, I'm not an Entomologist or an Arachnologist, but I'd say it's a good chance it is a female; given that I do know female wolf spiders are larger than males, at the very least in the abdomen.
