I got bit by this kind of spider in my house a number of times, below is a link to a pic of the spider and the wounds it left on me: http://img175.imagevenue.com/img.php?ima...

ewww..thats scary...see a doctor
probalbly a black widow. I hope u filled out ur will.
How big is the spider?
If it is tiny with very thin legs I would guess a brown recluse. If that is the case you should seek medical attention. Their bites can be very nasty.
If on the other hand it is a large spider with long thin legs then it may be a thin legged wolf spider. They are common in new construction. They like to hunt in grassy, open areas and tend to get "built in" when houses are constructed. They don't have a dangerous bite, but it would be extremely painful.
donno what it is. but be assured its not a black widow. probably just a common spider.
Looks like a recluse spider. If this isnt a joke, go to the doc. they can be fatal. If it is a joke...then i don't get it, but more power to ya.
im not sure but it could be a brown recluse i would go and get a checkup
What kind of website is that? Full of porn ads, disgusting, switch to photobucket. It's not a black widow though.
Looks lilke a brown recluse. If you really got bit, you need to get to the hospital. I used to work in surgery and have done many operations removing dead tissue from these bites. Not pretty.
That looks like a Brown Recluse you might want to have a doctor check that out those can be some bad bites if it is that.
do you live in a wooded area? if so it might be a brown recluse. that is what it looks like to me. granted i'm not an entomologist, but if that is really what your side looks like then i'd go to the doctor.
What area of the country do you live in? I dont think its a serious threat. Definitely not black widow. I dont think its a brown recluse becuase those are very non aggressive. It looks like the common "wolf" spiders Ive seen. How old is the bite in the image? You ought to capture it and take it to a university if you really want to know. Or email a biology prof maybe. Also, please stomp it next time so it will stop biting you!
looks like a huntsman
from looking at that picture there is a possibility that it could be a brown recluse spider but its hard to tell because it that picture there is a different color to it. but the bites dont look like that of a brown recluse. but you better see a doctor because if it was a brown recluse that bit you then your the wound will start to rot away your skin then your meat and muscle and itll get bigger and badder. go so a doctor and bring a picture if you have one.
omg that is a brown recluse you need to go see a doctor like now those things can kill a person if you dont get them treated soon enough!!
Looks like a brown recluse.. need to go to the doc asap
Okay, folks, if you don't know anything about spiders or spider bites, then don't send people into a panic because you've heard stories about brown recluses.
That is not a brown recluse. And the marks on his arm are not indicative of brown recluse bites.
The spider is likely a huntsman, though I question if those are in fact spider bites, at least from a huntsman. Huntsman spiders can bite, but they are a very fast species of spider and generally run away quickly when disturbed. These are the spiders they used in the movie "Arachnaphobia". Unless you actually saw the spider bite you, I'd think it likely that something else is to blame.
hi there
this isn't a black widow spider... black widows are black with a a red hour glass shape on it lower bady part.if u have the spider i would go to ur doctor with it in a pill bottle and ask him .
omg go to the damn doctor it looks like brown recluse i hope u already went to the ER
I actully know alot of people who were eating inside out from these spiders
hopefully a brown recluse - i think you would be mighty sick if it was a black widow which can be identified by the red hourglass shape on its back
Not a black widow or brown recluse. The brown recluse has a marking on its back shaped like a violin. Your spider doesn't have one. Don't worry.

Can anyone help me with my leopard gecko?
A month ago my boyfriend's daughter wanted a pet lizard. We took her to Petco and she picked out a leopard gecko. We really don't know much about them. We started out using sand and then started using some coconut shell stuff to lay down at the bottom of the aquarium. We changed out that stuff every other week. We bought her Zoo Med's can o' worms at the time we bought her. Then two weeks later we bought her crickets. 40 of them to be exact and she ate them all in a in about a day. I put some more of those can o' worms out for her to eat. She hasn't eaten though not for about 2 weeks. I think it's because the worms aren't live. Today I noticed she is pale and laying with her arms spread out. My boyfriend gets paid today and we are going to get more crickets. Does anyone have any advice on how to take better care of her? Like proper bedding, food, how often things should be done, vitamines, water and so on. Thank you.
Answers:
There's a good website that you can go to...
www.repticzone.com
In there, you will find forums and care sheets for any and ALL types of reptiles, including your leopard gecko.
Here's my advice...
DON'T put your leopard on ANY kind of loose substrate. My suggestion would be to use newspaper, paper towels, or a reptile carpet that can be purchased at most pet stores. Feeding: You should use calcium/vitamins every other day when feeding your leopard, because leopards, like most lizards, will suffer horribly without the proper calcium to maintain their bones. The easiest way I have found to do this is to put a lid (such as the lids off of coke bottles) full of calcium powder into the tank with the leopard and they will eat the calcium whenever they feel it necessary. I would also put some vitamin powder into a little plastic baggy and put the crickets in the baggy and shake it up to coat the crickets with the vitamins before feeding to my leopard. Also, leopards shed usually once every month-month and a half. This is why they look pale sometimes, and then sometimes they don't. They eat their shed, as well. (It's a natural thing... just as they would do in the wild to protect themselves from predators) Leopards do not like dead foods, so I would feed them a mix of crickets and silk worms or wax worms, both of which can be bought at a petstore such as Petsmart or Petco. You should clean the cage as often as possible, but do a thorough clean once a week to ensure that no bacteria or anything grows within the cage to cause your leopard to become sick. Offer fresh water daily as well.
I hope this helps you out!!
OK you should buy sand and you need a heat lamp because it is a cold blooded animal you got to buy the small kind of crickets because the female crickets have stingers and the bigger kind of crickets have stingers and will sting your leopard gecko in the mouth and will be come really sick and you also need to buy a water bowl and a rock so it can shed i hope that help you
Paper towels are the best bedding for leos. They can injest sand and the coconut fiber and will cause impaction.
They usually only eat things that move. She should be getting crickets every day, and they should be dusted with a calcium powder every other feeding. Crickets and feeder roaches are the best foods for them. Too many mealworms can cause impaction, as they cannot digest the hard outter shell. As for the person before me that said a large cricket can sting a leo, that is not true. The appendage on the rear of female crickets is for laying eggs.
She could be pale because she is getting ready to shed. They eat their skin when they shed, so you will only know she has shed when her colors are back to normal.
She will need fresh water everyday, and misting her at least once a day.
They are nocturnal, so a basking light is pointless. You need to have an undertank heater at one end of the tank. And provide a hide box on each end. You will also need to provide her a damp place for shedding.
Your probably right about the crickets being alive. Do you have a heat lamp on it. Reptiles have to have heat. Mainly just food water and HEAT.
I keep paper towels on the bottom of my Leo鈥檚 tanks. It is easy to clean (just take it all out and put fresh in) and they can't ingest it like sand. If your Leo is young, I do not recommend sand. Baby Leos are not that good with their aim yet, and will accidentally eat sand while catching prey which can lead to impaction which is most often deadly. Adults have this problem too. Just forget the sand and go with paper towels. Also provide a few dark hiding spots since they are nocturnal, and also provide a humid box with moss on the bottom of it (this will help when it's time for her to shed). Mine love the can o' worms and the can o' crickets. When you get ready to feed your Leo, dump some vitamin powder in a plastic baggie and then drop as much food as it will eat in a few minutes in with the powder and shake it up (kinda like shake n' bake), this will give her the vitamins she needs. I feed mine every other night and change the water EVERY day. If the water dish gets gross and slimy, put it in the dishwasher and it will get clean. Don't leave live crickets in with her. I did this once and a cricket bit my Leo鈥檚 tail while she was sleeping and gave her a pretty nasty wound. Enjoy your Leo! They are sooooo cute! =)
DUMP THE SAND!! It may cause her to consume grains when she feeds, and get impacted. If so, she can't pass a poop and she will need a vet immediately.
Use repti-carpet or plain newspapers instead. It is safer for her.
DO NOT USE HEAT ROCKS. They'll burn her skin.
Make her a moist hide. Put cotton balls or perlite in a Glad or margarine bowl with an entrance hole cut out. Get the inside nice and moist. She is probably getting ready to shed and what you see is old skin that needs to be moistened to come out. She'll eat it, and she'll be OK.
NEVER PUT SAND IN A LEOPARD GECKOS TANK!! they will eat bits of it and it clogs thier digestive track. also, you do need a heat pad and lamp, and some reptile carpet. to clean it, just put it in with the laundry or something like that. it says on the pack. what you need to do is every week, buy about 20 crickets. have a small little plastic "critter keeper" tank with half a potato in it for them feed on. feed the gecko a couple crickets EVERY OTHER DAY! and i would suggest takeing the gecko in a little container (with air holes!) to petco and talk to a reptile person. they rock.
Yes you need a heat source, and play sand is fine for leos, its like 4$ for a 50 lb. bag at any hardware store. They need a shallow dish of fresh water every day, 6-10 crickets twice a day, and every other day throw in like 5-10 baby meal worms in a dish. Buy a cricket care tank! They are life savers. They come with food trays for cricket food, which you should also buy because it puts vitamines right into your leo. Also dust the crickets in calcium powder every other day.
And Im sorry makala, but you are absolutley incorrect. Those are not stingers on crickets, the ones with "stingers" are females, and those are just tubes that they will use to lay eggs when they are ready. They are not stingers and will not hurt your lizard.
ive got a leopard gecko my self ryt now and i find the best ever thing to use is newspaper or kitchen roll 4 its bedding thats the best thing and if u dont havea heat mat get one put it at one end of the tank and put a lil hide on that side too DOESNT MATTER ABOUT LIGHTING 1 reason because lizard geckos are nocturnal so they'll sleep tho the day 2 reason because ud ave the heat mat n its the best thng to get cos its providing one hot and cool area rather than having all of the tank hot n about the food i advide nt to get can o worms cos its nt thre bst thing 4 them crickets and give em about 3 a day and try puttin like carrots in wif the crickets that fills them wif nutrition which helps them grown n helps your lizard get more nutrions to grow him/her -self there is a powder you can get the one i have is called nutrobal a multivitamin supplement to help bone growth in lizards which u could jst put in a lil like bottle cap like a coke bottle cap n put the coke bottle cap in the cage n wenever he/she feels like it they'll go n lick at it n help them-selves of if your hondling him/her (wash ur hands be4 this very important) dab a lil bit on your finger n put your finger jst putside of hi mouth dependin if es carm or even wants to ell lick at it ive done this n boy he loves it! also things like putting damp kitchen roll or toiletroll in the lizards lil home is also gd 4 him means he can get warmer faster n if e shredds during the night (only takes a couple o hours for him to do it) e can do it better wif it there already :) if u need anymore advice i no quite alot my-self jst ask or e-mail me ill b happy to help GG :D

Can any body help me out how to get rid of lizard.But don't want to kill them.Just keep away from house.?
Answers:
i am assuming you are talking about geckos...you can't keep them away from your house, just accept them...they do the world a great service by eating harmful insects like mosquitoes and june bugs (gross!) we have several geckos and green anoles around our house, and i love them...they are completely harmless, and will at all costs avoid contact with you.
We get lots of young geckos this time of year (Texas) - I keep a small glass and a rectangular piece of thin cardboard so I can catch them and let them go outside.
Put the glass over them, and SLOWLY slide the cardboard underneath the glass. Give the lizard time to get up onto the cardboard, so you don't pinch feet or tails between the cardboard and the edge of the glass.
Pick up the cardboard and glass, take the lizard outside, set the cardboard and glass down, and lift the glass.
Personally, I would rather have the lizards around the outside of my house to keep the insect population down.
Can an Equadorian Hermit Crab live without Salt Water?
Or can it be weaned off of the water?
Answers:
No hermit crab can live withought salt water, not even a PP. They need the salts for when they are molting. Withought salt water your hermit crabs will die.
No Equadorian's require salt water as do all species of land hermit crabs. They use the salt in the marine salt water to expand their body and crack their exoskeleton when they molt. They also need the salt water for the salinity of their shell water.

Can alligators climb trees and like live there?
like if there is a tree over a river can they climb the tree and make their home there??
Answers:
NO...
No..but some time they try to..
.no. Who told you they could? Alligators are water creatures and need to be in the water most of the time to support their body weight, otherwise their organs would be crushed by the weight of their body.
What do you mean like live there?...As far as I know they do not act like big cats...
If the tree is way bent over, like almost horizontal, and the gator isn't very large, it could possibly climb it. I don't know why it would, though, that isn't their natural environment.
If you're phobic about gators falling or jumping out of trees on you, I wouldn't worry about it, I have never heard of it happening!
Snakes, though...that's a whole 'nother story!
Hah, it's ridiculous!! Alligators are massive creatures weighing 400 - 1000 kg, and they have very small legs that can hardly support their weight on ground, how can they climb trees? However, lizards as big as monitors can climb slanted trees.
no. if there is something they want in the tree it might face up the tree but it could never actually climb it.
Yes! They dangle their offspring over the heads of innocent canoers below an the little 'gaters' bite their heads off as they pass under the trees. Well, actually they don't bite their heads off cause the gaters are no larger than kittens.
However, they're closely related to the northern 'snow snake' that slithers beneath the snow and is white and rarely seen as you might imagine, but their deadly method of killing is dreadful to imagine whereas they wriggle into an unsuspecting campers sleeping bag and into the campers rectum and instantly freezing the poor innocent camper to death. A truely cold hearted snake!

Can all red eard slider turtles swim?
my red eard slider turtle stays at the bothom of the tank and im afride it might drown so i put a little bit of water but the water is over the turtle. her neck can come up to get air when shes on the bottom of the tank.
Answers:
yes all aquatic turtles can swim. they love to. dont be afraid to put a lot more water in your tank than that. the turtle will come up for air when it needs to. they can hold their breath for quite some time.maybe your turt is nervous around you so you dont always see her surface? that is possible...and as others have said do make sure you have a basking area for her to come out completely of the water with the proper lighting above it.
All turtles can swim. It's best when you put something in their tank so that they can climb out when they want but it is not necessary for them to breathe.
All turtles can swim. They do not drown.
But they are happy to get out of the water once in while.
Best to put a rock in the tank higher than the water level, so the turtle can perch on it once in a while.
DON'T WORRY! they are made to swim and can hold their breath for hours.
yes ALL turtles are born knowing how to swim
Course they all can! my RES wouldnt swim at first and would just sit on the bottom of the tank, but after a while once they are used to it they swim around, but if they dont start swimming means the water temp is either too high or low

They make great pets.As far as websites got to the Ultimate reptile shop it is in Houston Texas.
Yes turtles are a very popular pet. Just remember that they live a long time (up to 25 years) and require a lot of care. For information on this please visit
www.redearslider.com
of course. usually if you buy them from pet store , they are pretty big. its illegal to sell turtles less than 5 inches however there are places that sell baby turtles. the most popular turtle is red ear slider. there are other turtles that people have as a pet such as box turtle , paint turtle etc.
you can go to your local pet shop to check out some of their turtles or you can go to animal shelter to adopt a turtle
ye a turtle can be a pet!
