Man captures terrifying footage of massive spider carrying mouse up a fridge
WTEN-TV ^ | October 31, 2016 | Jason Womal

An Australian man posted a Facebook video of a massive spider carrying a mouse up a fridge.

The video taken by Jason Womal has been watched more than 10 million times. It shows a Huntsman spider trying to eat the mouse as it drags it up the fridge.

Womal says the spider is fine and that he has chosen to adopt him.

“We have named him Hermie,” Womal said in a Facebook post. “He is now running his own extermination business out of our town in Coppabella. Oh and he is now paying rent. Lol.”

THAT’S another reason I can’t move south.

The heat and this.

Thanks for the nightmares. “That is so cool” would have been far down on my list of possible comments. And I would not be holding a camera.

It’s the barking kind that’s the problem

Creepy Crawlers! For the pet owner who thinks out of the box.
There are even folks who make pets out of giant roaches.
Me? I’m fine with my Zebra Finches and a Scream Team of 2 Parakeets who don’t like people getting too close.

Me too. I also love geckos, flatworms and snakes. My Japanese Rat Snake that escaped two years ago showed up in front our house unexpectedly three weeks ago, and I welcomed her back. She’s eaten 20 quail eggs in the last two weeks. She’s probably hungry again...
I’ve seen some good six-inch leg span hunter spiders and wolf spiders here. I love ‘em.

“the spider is fine and that he has chosen to adopt him. “
“Hermie”

Naming the thing doesn’t make it human, or warm and cuddly. It just proves that at least one man is completely bonkers. Let’s see how the spider returns the favor. It won’t like being kept in a cage.....

With barking spiders, it’s more a problem with their breath than the barking. :=)

And if you’re sleeping and one is on your pillow, it’s startling at the same time.

Some of the jumping spiders are sooo cute! I let them roam freely in the house unless they are in danger of getting stepped on.

The peacock jumping spiders are pretty funny when they dance.

Crocks, giant mouse carrying spiders and every venomous snake in the world. Crikey! The Aussies can keep them.

The ones I don’t like are the ones that have dozens of baby spiders crawling all over them and slowly devouring them...

What kind of godforsaken spider can carry a mouse up a refrigerator?
