Here are a few she just sent. The first and third are of a molt of her Brazilian Black & White named Goliath, he's about 6 inches. In the first and last pics the white spots are the lungs. These give me the willies.

I found a tarantula out by my garage. I brought him in so we could check him out and she screamed,crawled over the back of the couch and ran to the bedroom then slammed the door.
Oddest behavior I have ever seen from her.
These hands will be rated E for Everyone because everyone gonna be getting some if they try that with me!Chris, your wife is a victim of arachnophobia. A proven way of dealing with any phobia is persistent exposure therapy.
I had one of these ones too. Orb weavers of all types are really cool spiders and do a lot of work eating stuff you don't want around.I had a big spider of unknown type living in my keypad outside. I never messed with him, and let him live there. He was there all year. Thought it was kind of cool that he would just get out of the way when I went to press the keys.
We have a good number of Orb Weavers here in Jupiter Farms. Very cool spider! I sometimes relocate them if they are putting up a web where I walk. Otherwise, I leave them alone.

What you do is show her a live spider, pick it up, and say it'll be happier outside. Make a big show of setting it free then closing the door.Chris, your wife is a victim of arachnophobia. A proven way of dealing with any phobia is persistent exposure therapy. You increasingly expose your wife to ever more spidery things until she is cured of her debilitating condition. Hiding a pulsating, about-to-burst egg sack in a cupboard would be a great start. Hide more spider things in your wife's favorite hiding places as impromptu surprises. But do make sure you don't come to harm in the process. They do bite - both spiders and wives.
You should wait until she's sound asleep. Wait for signs of REM sleep. Then tickle her gently with a furry implement of your choice. One treatment may be all she needs.What you do is show her a live spider, pick it up, and say it'll be happier outside. Make a big show of setting it free then closing the door.
Five minutes later, tickle the back of her neck with a pipe cleaner.
However, you might require several to remove the bedside pencil from your eye socket.One treatment may be all she needs.
