An Australian named Jaden Leves from Sydney has an active TikTok account. She recently showed her unusual pet. The video has gained more than 700 thousand views and received 40 thousand likes.
A girl from Australia made a dangerous spider her pet. It happened after she found a poisonous insect on her bed. It is reported by the Mirror.
One evening, when Leves was in her bedroom, she noticed a huge spider that crawled inside and ended up right on the bed. Instead of panicking and getting rid of him at the first opportunity, Jaeden took a rather unconventional route. The girl decided to leave the insect and even gave him the name Larry, making him her pet. Despite the fact that her new friend was a huge Hunter Spider, half the size of a human palm, Leves did not feel fear for him.
The girl in her videos for social networks calls Larry “very friendly” and claims that he does not want to offend anyone.

At home, Leves is not afraid to let the spider out of the terrarium and allows him to crawl along the walls of her room. She said that once domestic cats tried to scare the spider, but he remained unfazed. Even the girl’s mother showed warmth to the insect and allowed him to move around the house.
The Australian subscribers were divided into two camps: some believe that Larry showed them that spiders should not be afraid, while others experienced an exacerbation of arachnophobia because of him.
“I got a lot of comments from people who said how they were really scared of him, and how they would burn down their house. Some even claimed that they would have killed him,” the girl said.
The hunter spider or crab spider (Huntsman spider) is the largest spider in the world, the leg span of which can reach 30 centimeters. The spider is so big that it can feed on lizards and small birds. Its venom is not fatal to humans, but can cause heart palpitations, vomiting, and headaches.
If we do not take into account the huge size and intimidating appearance, then we can understand that the Hunter Spiders are not aggressive and do not pose a danger to people. They can bite a person out of fear, but their bite is not fatal.

It was also reported that the researchers showed an unusual pumpkin-like spider. The found spider becomes active in the cold season, it is called Araneus marmoreus and very much resembles a small pumpkin.
