If someone paid you $200, would you hold this for 5 minutes?

[NoDecision]

Come on, what can go wrong?

Golden Huntsman, Australia

[WindAtMyBack]

It's not venomous, so sure. But how much does the spider get paid to stand still for five minutes?

[NoDecision]

If you promise it a grasshopper for lunch it will.

[WindAtMyBack]

Poor grasshopper has to be sacrificed so I can win $200.

Now flies are a different story. They are evil and the spider can eat as many as it wants.

[FreyaRed]

It's a big girl. I assume girl because females are bigger in spider world. I don't think I could force this spider to remain 5 minutes long on my hand

[Nikki1989]

Yeah, we frequently see them here. We had one on our wall just a few days ago. Harmless critters.

[glennos89]

The only time I will come close with this spider is when I feel threatened because then I will try to squash it

[NoDecision]

They are more afraid of you than you of them because you can squish them.

[glennos89]

You are propably right about that but that doesn't mean Im not scared of them 😋

[hafinjun]

Im afraid id accidently drop a phone book on it

[Xawyx-2]

No, I don't hold spiders or insects, I use the newspapers.

For this one, I would need a book.

[NoDecision]

MEAN!!!

[Xawyx-2]

If it's not poisonous add a 0. 2000 dollars maybe.

[Staximus]

Sure, why not? That spider is not dangerous to humans

[Wiredone]

Sure I'll hold it as long as i can wear long rubber gloves

[nolabels]

I could use $200.
Are you offering?

[DryGermanGuy]

Does he play fetch? 🤔

[slatyb]

No, nor would I hold any venomous animal.

[Shiprex]

I wouldn't need to be paid.

[nawtee_me]

Yes, I like them

[Sebastian100]

If it's not poisonous then I would
