I wonder if I could enter the enormous invasive spiders from my daughter's basement in Pet of the Month? Half their charm is their accent as they yell back and forth about "getting enough trainers for all their feet" and "finding jumpers with enough armholes". I don't know what these jumpers and trainers are, but these British immigrant spiders seem to.
I know they're unorthodox pets, but they do seem to have fur.
They've just taken to squatting in the basement? Hmm. I wonder when their breeding season will be in the climate there?
Since that's when they tend to go runabout, and you find them in strange places. Like when I found myself trapped in a room because a huge one was just poised above the doorframe, waiting to fall on me the moment I went to fetch a big enough container and bit of cardboard! Or hiding under the washing up bowl in the sink to jumpscare me in the morning, before I've even had coffee yet. Scuttling out from, under, or ONTO the bed possibly the worst... no, actually when you find one has somehow clambered onto you and you feel the tickle of those horrible hairy legs, is the worst.
Memorable one for me was around early hours of the morning, I'm lying on my side reading a novel and in that lovely liminal space just as you're super comfy, sleepy and content, about to fall asleep, when one suddenly landed on my book, right in front of my face, waved a tiny hairy spider fist at me before running over my pillow and down the head of my bed, as I did everything I could to escape the bedding and room before it could eat me.
Then had to fetch someone else to come find and either catch or destroy it before I could go back in that room! Let alone sleep in there.
This is why I hate them so much. Not only large, hairy, creepy looking spiders, but they're jump scare experts, and it's that part I resent the most. Give me a slow, sedate tarantula any day.
I hope your daughter isn't as freaked out by them as I am! They're all hairy legs and huge bodies, and they're so
fast! Yet also often ungainly and clumsy, just seem to hurl themselves at you... It's just not fair!
While I don't wish them on anyone, and don't like it when a non-native species becomes invasive, I'm also kind of glad you've seen them, and know what I mean about them! Not dangerous so shouldn't whine, but man, they're just so
creepy! 
Of course both my Cleveland teams are playing at the same time. I'll have the video of the football game going along with the radio broadcast for baseball flip flopping the audio input between the two on my sound system.
Last time my platies had fry they were all eaten, but now my tank is much junglier and so far it’s been 3-4 weeks and they’re all doing fine and growing!
