X3!!! I'm glad we have such cold winters up here to kill off the bugs that big! Too bad the winters kill off the trucks too.
I know a lot of people have them as pets but I didn't think they had the breed that is native here as pets. Me mum's been wrong before so it wouldn't surprise me if she were wrong about them dying in captivity or migratiing, I just thought it was cool. I'm an extreme arachniphobe so I wouldn't have one as a pet anyway.
