EEEEEEK!
I don't mind spiders...I do mind if they try to run up my arm, though...LOL
I have lots of them living in the house and they do a good job of flycatching.
I save them when they fall in the sink and dry them off and set them back on the window sill but the Cellar Spiders can just stay down here and I'll stay up here.
I have called him, begged him, cried to him, mentally focused and tried to communicate with him to the point where I feel like a lunatic who sits in dark rooms and talks to herself.
Either he's not "listening" or he's somewhere he can't get out.
I know they "hear" me.
Sometimes I'll feed them on a different day and when I go out to the shop freezer to get their rodents, everybody's up and rambling around, sniffing in expectation when I come back in.
I know bloody well they can't smell frozen varmints in sealed bags so I have no other way to explain it.
They just know I went out for their food.
Alice is not a very biddable guy.
He's always had his "own thing" going on.
