Great stuff will anticipate your pictures! They most probably searched google for big baboon spider and the king baboon came up.

Hahaha, could most probably be the case.

I'll try and educate them as much as possible for now. I have told them that the T's are mostly harmless so there is no need to "get rid of them". if you don't bother them, they won't bother you, right?

You are correct.

Just show them the baboonspideratlas.co.za website has most of the information there.

I will definitely do that.

Thanks for all the help and advice.

Hi all,

I found this 4 legged (lost a few legs) critter in my home yesterday, could someone please identify it?

I believe the cats got a hold of it during the night unfortunately. My estimation of its size (using the legs that it had left) is around 9cm.
