So, not everything is perfect in paradise so they say. Although we have not had any snake encounters, we have had plenty of spider sightings. The problem is that they usually occur either in or around our house! The first one we saw ran across the wall at lightning speed one night. I am not stretching the truth when I say it was as big as a baseball. Fat, dark, furry and ugly. Not sure what kind it was (probably deadly) the main point is that it escaped our attempts to smash it, and now we don't know where it is ? (Shiver) Last night there was one on my window by my head right before I went to sleep.....or I should say that was the original plan, not sure if I actually slept that well. After careful investigation of the spider book - we think it was a huntsman , and this is good since they are one of the few that are actually harmless to humans . whew.
We are checking inside our shoes now before we put them on.
