Warning: photos of large house spider (not my tarantula) incoming under this post

Look at this fellow! I think it& #39;s a wandering fellow, with the size of those palpal bulbs, possibly off looking for a female? Anyway I found them trying to hide in the waste paper basket, hence lurking in the toilet tube which I managed to coax it into. @BritishSpiders

It attempted a half-hearted threat posture at me as I persuaded it into the tube (like, little mate, I have a pet tarantula, please stop embarrassing yourself) and then popped it outside (not ideal at this time of year but better that than death by cat)

That was a moment of delight for me this evening, it& #39;s always nice to meet a new house friend
