Holy big hairy ass spiders Batman!
Yep..thats right people, I actually stuck my hand into a tank with tarantulas today (well...for about 5 seconds...but to me that is HUGE-NORMOUS believe me).
Anyways, what happened was that I opened today with Rachel and Christine and since Rachel had already started the small animals Christine gave me the option of reptiles or birds and well...quite frankly I dont like birds all that much so I chose reptiles. Now I dont have a problem with lizards, snakes, turtles, frogs, or hermit crabs...but the spiders and the scorpians, that is where I start to get a little freaked out.
So, I call Chris over to "help" me with the spiders and I had already (shaking like a leaf mind you) taken the water bowl from the pink-toe's tank.
She came over and was showing me what to do since I have never dealt with them before and we were almost done with the tank when I picked up the waterbowl and a clump of the terrarium dirt fell off the bottom of it...all I saw was something brown moving so I uh...screamed and freaked the hell out. Which scared the living crap out of Christine btw. She was like "JESUS CHRIST, DONT DO THAT! YOU SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME!" *snickers* She told me that she told our boss Steve if one of them jumps at her or gets out to just take it out of her paycheck cuz she'll step on the damn thing.
Anyway, she showed me the rest with me doing just a little of their tanks cuz quite frankly I just sorta am getting used to the goddamn crickets so spiders and scorps, we're talkin baby steps here...itty bitty teeny tiny baby steps.
