Thanks Andrew and Rich...beware the 12 ft killer spider eh?! LOL
Mary...I'm muchly improved today thanks, my eye still doesn't quite feel like it belongs in my face, but the coldness and nausea has finally let off... *phew*![Smile](https://thebts.co.uk/forums/core/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
James...thanks sugarlump!
lol And thanks for jogging my memory too, re: H.Gigas...but damn...that's sooo weird for a Brachy to indulge in such games!
Von...I had to giggle when I went to my doctor...I just had visions of *bitten by an angry wotsit* being put on my medical records too!!![Smile](https://thebts.co.uk/forums/core/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
All in all I'm feeling a load better, left eye is open again now, the world is a tad blurred, but it's better than the immense swelling that was there before. I'm tempted to wear an eye patch and hop about saying *shiver me timbers* and *yo ho ho*...LOL
Nicola...you're much the same as me, I've got H.Lividum, C.Crawshayi, H.Gigas, Pokies etc...and they're all sweeter natured than that particular *Brattypelma Biteyerheadii*!!
Yes I'll be doing a full bite report as soon as I have my eye completely back to normal, which given the progress in the last 24 hours shouldn't be too long now.![Smile](https://thebts.co.uk/forums/core/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
As for photos...yup..we did get pics of the bite...and even better...I got a sequence of photos of the critter in action. Last night it pulled the same stunt in its tub, but this time I didn't remove the lid.
Instead I picked the box up, and asked my 12 year old to take photos for me while I held the tub (hence pics are a tad blurred, she was shaking when the spid moved suddenly)...within seconds it reared up from the dead position and was striking the side of the tub!! After 5 minutes it seemed to quieten down and just settled to sulk in a corner.
I'll get the photos uploaded later on, whilst they are not the sharpest images in the world...they're clear enough to show the Brachy playing up!
