Woman finds tarantula in her shopping

Ooooh! Pretty. Nibs

And how is that a mystery of the unexplained??? No wonder I spend less and less time on this site, there is nothing worth while to read.

And how is that a mystery of the unexplained??? No wonder I spend less and less time on this site, there is nothing worth while to read. this section of the forum is for "weird, bizarre & offbeat news" not unsolved mysteries (which are in other parts of this forum) having a live tarantula come in your online shopping package obviously fits under weird.

awwwwwwwwww i think thats sweet!! i wanna find a turantula in my shopping bag.:DD And i couldn't agree more with this person above. ^--- haha

dose anyones think its rather strange that a zoo of all places wouldnt know what type of spider this is ..spider expert? huh?? i think even i might be over qualified to work there

I would've had a simultaneous heart attack & brain explosion.

It looks like an Ornamental Baboon Tarantula to me

Next time someone buys something from me on ebay I'm gonna hide in the bottom of the box. I'll be nude of course, so that it feels more like they got a pet with their random object.

I can never bare to look at those things.. petrified of them...but that is one posh looking spider... I bet it lays faberge eggs lol

I can think of worse actually. Once opened up a box full of lollies to have an Indiana Jones type volley of HUGE roaches come out at me. I jumped up on the counter behind me like a girl in a cartoon seeing a mouse, seriously. They just came out in a river. I'm amazed there was room for lollies in there. Oh, and I've seen a whole mess of furry spiders much like these, crawling up my wall when I was a kid. They come big where I live. Wolf spiders, Mama and babies, and there were LOTS of them. Mama was huge, babies not quite, but that is a sight I have never forgotten.
