I've only seen dead ones.

That was a leprosy joke, by the way.

Glad you explained it

Reba found this Wolf spider on porch. She was pissed I wouldn't let her mess with it.

About 2 1/2" across, not quite large but survived the Reba encounter so it has a chance to grow bigger.

Haven't had been lucky enough to see any big ones this year.

That's a big one! Glad you saved it! Next time you get a chance, hold a pair of mirrored sunglasses up close to them where they see their own reflection, cool to watch even with little jumpers.

I'd peel my skin off to see a live armadillo.

Pretty cool. Lizard dudes always haul azz long before I can get on target with camera.

All of the lizards we saw scurried away, except this one. He was quite a bit larger and he acted like he owned the place.

Hard to make out in the jug, but there's a 3-4" Black & Brown Desert Tarantula in there.

Small lizard in the other cage. The spider was released in NM before we left. Lizzy the Lizard is now a well fed well housed pet.

Bug. Don't know what kind. He was between 5 and 6 inches long. I thought it was dead grass from when I trimmed around my shop. I thought the wrong end was the head until he moved.


Thought the top end was his head:


Nope...head was at the bottom:
