With daddy long legs? I already did. I hiked inside a pitch black cave at Enchanted Rock State Park where those things lined the walls. They move out of your way for the most part.

I have arachnophobia.



I don't have $50k.



I would stay in the room and laugh all the way to the bank. I would be freaked out, but as stated they can't bite you.

They can't "bite" in the traditional spidery way, but they do still have chelicerae equipped with pincers. Mind you, these lovely little critter have been known to snack on discarded lizard tails and smaller amphibians (interestingly enough also some fungi) so they can certainly give you a pinch, but it's not likely to cause permanent harm and is not venomous. But they can, and in very rare cases have been known to, tear human flesh.







Just a little (over) sharing.
