This is a situation where you will have to check your house everyday before bed. I mean how do you sleep in peace in an environment like that. You come back from work and have to check your whole house before falling asleep and even when you are sleeping what guarantee is there that more won’t fall out of your ceiling?:picard:
Wake up to a snake on your floor, or even worse, your bed. Hearing noises in your attic, knowing it’s a snake. I’d be a wreck

There is no country in the world where the foreign perception of it differs more from reality than Australia

Your American animals are way more deadly than any of our ones :mjlol: I would any day prefer to have a snake in my house than come across a mountain lion or one of those giant bears you've got. Snakes and spiders are stupid creatures. You've nothing to fear from them as long as you're smart enough to follow the rules.

On the other hand in the US you have mammals with intelligence to match their vviciousness. There's no rules for how to deal with intelligent animals. Its kill or be killed with them.

We don't have mammals at all except for marsupials, which are entirely harmless (except for kangaroos I suppose, but at least they're vegetarians and won't attack you just because they're hungry, unlike American bears and mountain lions)

Massive Huntsman Spider Eats a Possum in Front of Horrified Ski Lodge Guest

"It was one of the biggest huntsman spiders he'd ever seen," Justine Latton said of her husband Adam, who witnessed the incident

By Robyn Merrett June 19, 2019 12:39 AM

A man staying at a ski lodge in Tasmania, Australia had the scare of his life when he witnessed a massive huntsman spider devour a tiny possum.

The man’s wife, Justine Latton shared photos of the horrifying moment on Facebook, which show the spider clinging on to the hotel door with the tiny possum in its mouth.

Justine tells PEOPLE her husband Adam was staying at a “very rustic” ski lodge at Mount Field National Park in Tasmania’s South West with some friends when the incident took place.

She explains that pygmy possums are “quite common” in the area and that the spider “probably just saw an opportunity and went for it.”

“It was one of the biggest huntsman spiders he’d ever seen,” Justine says of her husband, adding that “Tasmanian pygmy possums are the smallest of the pygmy possums.”

“This one was about the size of a large walnut,” Justine says.

Making the encounter all the more frightening, Justine notes that the possum was a very unlikely prey for the spider.

Huntsman spider

“Huntsman spiders will sometimes take a small lizard or frog, but mammals are not their usual diet,” she says. “They most often eat other spiders and insects.”

As for what happened after Adam took the photo, Justine says the spider and the possum had to be caught and released outside “in order to open the door.”

The spider was not harmed in the process. However, it was too late for the possum as it had already died, Justine says.

Justine’s post quickly went viral with hundreds of social media users expressing fear over the sighting.

“Omg… stuff of nightmares,” one wrote in the comment section of Justine’s post.

Another social media user marveled over the sighting commenting, “What a once in a lifetime photo opportunity… I would be so freaking excited if I were lucky enough to witness this!”

“I didn’t imagine it would cause such a media maelstrom,” Justine says.

Despite their chilling appearance, huntsman spiders are not considered to be dangerous, according to the Australian Museum.

Still, like most arthropods, huntsman spiders possess venom and if bitten, a person may experience “ill effects,” according to the museum.

The museum states that the spiders are, however, reluctant to bite and will usually “run away rather than be aggressive.”

Huge pythons crashing through your ceiling is a totally different level of fukkery altogether, no? :skip: You'd be comfortable actually knowing one of those muthafukkas were dwelling in your attic? LOL I been hearing horror stories out of Australia for as long as I can remember.

Luckily I don't live in a country where nature fukkery happens, but if was in the states I'd take the bears and mountain lions over fukking pythons any day.

But why? A python can't kill you very easily. It has to strangle you. That is the only way it can hurt you, if you just stand there and let it wrap itself around you. You can easily run away from it, or kill it by stabbing it. Bears and mountain lions can outrun you and they won't be so easy to stab

I've encountered the red-bellied black snake, one of the most dangerous snakes in the country, twice before. Once when I was a 9 year old boy, all by myself. And once when I was 20 stoned out of my mind with a friend. On both occasions I just turned around and walked away. That's all I had to do to avoid getting killed. Would it be so easy for a 9 year old kid or for someone who was extremely high to survive an encounter with a bear or mountain lion?

Yea, Australia is a place I have no interest in going to. I’d have a heart attack going up in my attic and seeing a snake of any kind.

Can’t even go to the beach and step in the water without having to worry about stepping on a rock fish or poisonous octopus

Fam, I don't care if a python could talk and apologised for crashing through the ceiling and promised to pay for the damages.....I do NOT fukk with snakes of any kind, especially that size. It can strangle you, so what if it came into the room of a baby or small child or an elderly person sleeping? Them shyts are still dangerous. Some Australian actress (can't remember who) was saying some years back her mother fell asleep watching TV once and woke up to some snake trying to wrap itself around her. :damn:

Regardless, I'd never be able to relax knowing one of them was in the vicinity let alone could get in my house in the first place.

As for bears and mountain lions, we don't have those in England but I'd imagine in the states you only encounter them when you go deep into the forest/woods. I could be wrong but I don't hear about them just going into people's homes and chilling like they pay the rent.

Weird. When I was in Cairns, Sydney and Melbourne, I saw NONE of this!

I literally had to go to animal sanctuaries to see animals (except the casino in Cairns)

You don’t really see crazy animals and insects in Australia like you’d expect….i spent 4 months there or so. Went on a bunch of hikes by myself and didn’t see anything crazy besides wild kangaroos that pretty mind their business as long as you keep distance.


But…these are a sight to see when you’re facing a blunt in a city park at night

I quickly put out my blunt and went straight to my Airbnb :russ:

Doesn’t the southwest portion of America have a snake problem also?

American media over hypes everything. Imagine if countries could Sue other nations for defamation of character? America would be hit with hundreds in a day

Mostly the woods but it’s normal for bears to wander of their territory into nearby city or town.
