As the post title says,its already 3:00 am in the morning and i cant even think of sleep.

Wana know why?

Because of this "thing" in my bedroom.

I was going to the switch panel to switch on the fan so that i can study when something on the wall caught my attention and discovered this spider as huge as...as....ehh.? wat? I don know,i cant remember anything right now to compare its size with. I said WTF!!! :shock:

You call me anything but i cant sleep with that huge spider on the wall of my bedroom. No,i cant "kill" it you know because :idea: i am against cruelty to animals and im a PETA activist. Alright,im just too scared by it to even go near it and you are talking about killing it?

Now i will have to kill around 3 hours on net(thats not at all a problem)with an eye spying on the "thing" that its not getting closer to m,till my dad gets up in the morning and i go to his bed and sleep while he does something about this spider.

I have no idea what spider this is.Anybody has any idea?

And starting from tomorrow are me end sem exam.

I am the first to kill spiders,and all kshudr-prani's in my house :lol:
well,spiders and all are common thing.one of my friend,who came from switzerland(ofcourse a white guy and his partner) was panicked to see spiders,taking video of it for hours :rolleyes: I killed it infront of them and they are saying "poor creature" my f00t!
this is a common thing esp in kerala and more esp in rainy season(already).

well,not to say that I hate PETA from the bottom of my heart;thanks to Mrs.Maneka Gandhi of mad dogs fame :x !

@mayank:afterall you are a biology student and you got panicked by this nocturnal creature ?:confused:

Wats this yaar?
frightened by a mere spider? nd lookin at da photo, its a small spider...

ya Prakash is rite....its a very common thing in Kerala. I see atleast 1~2 such spiders in or outside the house everyday. Trust me. They just dont come to us nd byte. Sure they looks scary but in real its not dat of a scary creature.

I ve found small poisonous snakes(big n small) inside my house couple of times nd i even have photos of dem[dun know how they climbed the steps nd made it to my room]. I just pulled out my previous year college record nd tattoed it[it was a tiny snake nd after it got killed my dad said by it looks that its a poisonous snake named valavalappan or shankuvarayan]. Do i need to affix the photos here?:D

Look, if u ever had such experience they ull never get scared by a spider or a centipede.

Actually many of the people around us are more poisonous than these poor creatures:([unless its a snake: i hate snakes].

Btw that snake is freaky, is it poisonous or just a rat sucker ?

and dat insect dun smell actually. Its seen on coconut trees[it sucks its juice] and sometimes shoot thru windows. most of da time i get shocked by the sudden sound of the insect getting hit by the ceiling fan blades. The fan blade blows are just childs stuffs for the hard shelled insect.

yup, im bit too worried as ive seen 2~3 small of those snakes on premises last month.
Im really amazed how did those small ones get inside the house? They are just 12~15 cm long[though they cud grow up to more than a metre]
Even if y location is much close to town[Kottayam], such snakes are common.

i dont understand whats wrong with these snakes.even when there are no rats in the house they still enter.it happen once in my house,i was offering my namaz(prayer) suddenly i turned left i saw snake trying to enter through window i couldnt leave my prayer but i was constantly watching it.some how it made it and went under bed.as soon as i finished my prayer i shouted "snake" my family rushed and observed it was a rat snake.we had no choice but to kill it,sadly my cousin got hit by snake as it was trying to beware us it spun its tail and cousin got hit on his leg.Since then no snake has ever entered.we did cut extra branches,grasses etc just to make sure there will be no sight of any kind of snakes.i will never forget that moment

killing these pityful creatures is insane but out of fear we humans tends to kill them even if they r not dangerous. i wish india too had good snake catchers as shown in dicovery channel(who goto to different places n protect them from being killed by the people.) i once saw on NATGEO that there was an indian lady like them but i dont remember her name. she loved snakes very much n teaches many not to harm them but to protect them n keep them away from human community.
she even travels miles to protect the snakes when some1 call her, in general we all think of killing them instead of calling some1 who can protect them n take them away to their habitat without harming them. if poeple like her r in abundance then no1 (not human nor animals) will get harmed.

i really feel pity wen i hear that a snake or a dangerous creature has been found in the locality n POEPLE HAV JUST ONE THOUGHT IN THERE MIND -- KILL IT :mad::sad: its really insane. i do fear these fearsome creatures but never think of harming them. i always pray that some1 good come n take them away wen such incidents happen!

Most of the Man eater big cats were either injured by poachers or were too incompetent due to old age and tooth decay to resort to human eating, the depletion of their natural habitat intensified the effects too.

In short we like to put an axe over our own foot.

Valid point.
Many times we hear news like a tiger spotted in a city,injured so many child/people.
People ask why are they coming to cities?what is govt doing?
But first ask yourself.Why did you(we) go to their homes FIRST.
Also,we should not harm even if its not affecting us.
