Hi Sabine,
Well that is a relief! I thought maybe when posting about spiders I
would get thousands of replies. Thankfully I didn't. Looks like they
aren't that popular there!
So the bigger it is the less venomous it is? That is really
interesting! I didn't even know that. Huh. But still, I wouldn't
want to see a big one...actually I don't want to see ANY! But going
to Roatan, it is a tropical place so I have told myself that I could
have a good chance of seeing one!
I am not worrying too much like I was, thankfully for everyone on this
forum! Thank you, I have learned so much too! Yes, I think I will be
quite prepared.
