Don't know about the spiders but we did see a small (read baby) boa
the first week we were here on Roatan. It was less that a foot long
and was a beautiful colored snake......as snakes go. I'm not a big
fan of snakes and even less so of spiders but I did hear stories of 8
foot boa's running around on the island, though I'm hearing lots of
stories here, and only really believing what I see for now. lol
Best, David.
