Funny story guys! I thought I'd share it. Those of you that know me and have seen some of my other posts know that I am a terrarium freak and have a growing collection. I currently have a juvenile bearded dragon, 3 frogs and of course up until 3 months ago when he passed away unexpectedly I had a young adult male Jackson's chameleon. I am also blessed with a beautiful almost 4 inch male Mexican fire-leg tarantula named October who I would say is quite a character actually (he's black and orange and he's a tarantula so he fits perfectly with Halloween hence his name.) Anyway, sometimes even my (family) collection catches me off guard at the right times. That happened this morning. Have you ever been so tired first thing in the morning that it actually makes you kind of stupid? Well I guess I woke up from some deep dream and bare in mind that I have a few cracks in my windows right now (they're old windows) that I have taped up to keep insects, especially moths which freak me the heck out, from getting in. Like I was saying I just woke up and I am really groggy or as we call it in our house groggy stupid. I lift my head off the pillow and look at the foot of the bed and I was actually startled. I was like "Holy crap that is one huge spider! How did it get in here?" And then my mind clears up and I realize it's just October crawling around the glass of his tank which is across from my bed and me being in that wakeup state of mind forgot was there since you can see the wall through the other side of it. Here's a recent pick of him but he got a bit bigger about a month ago when he molted. He's all tucked up in this picture but he looks his size when his legs are spread out, especially when he's up on the glass. Even though I know him well and am very used to him imagine just waking up and not being all there yet and being greeted by him crawling around across the room at a time when your trying to keep bugs out of the house.
