    I spent 2 years looking for my last spider, it was one of the rarest species in the world and incredibly expensive.



    P. Metallica, native only to 100 square kilometres in India. Found nowhere else in the world and stunningly beautiful.

    What a bunch of dummies, best way to smuggle spiders is in the rectum. No one will even want to do anything if they find them in your butt.

    My thoughts exactly. I always open carts, but now I may have to give it a week in case anything is alive inside the cart. Whhhhyyyyy!

    Well this will make me second guess every single game case I see now... just like the pic I saw where the spider was hanging out under the toilet seat. Yes, now I check every time.

    Those are some pretty damn good customs agents..
  • IchinisanIchinisan
    They probably didn't use the right equipment or technique to open them without breaking the snaps.

    I doubt customs agents give a shit.

    What exactly is "the right equipment"?  I have never been able to open famicom carts consistently without damaging them..  It's all patience and luck

     
  • Uncle MeatUncle Meat
    The right equipment in this context is anything they feel necessary that will open the carts without damaging the capsules holding the spiders.



    Screw the carts, can't have these spiders running around the US stealing, breeding with white women and stuff.



    I just want to know how the spiders closed the lids on those capsules...They are clearly an evolved species that shouldn't be screwed with.

    Omg - this thread went from why (the story), to wtf (blue spider - gorgeous but stay away!), to WTF (biggest spider ever omg), to holy shit that's a badass way to show off gaming controllers lmao. For the love of god, please tell me that massive spider on the playstation controller is fake (please please please just lie to me).



    Despite the weak feeling in my stomach and the goosebumps, I think we should have an exotic pets thread!

    I guess I can only blame myself for willfully opening this thread again.
  • IchinisanIchinisan
    Yeah. I see broken snaps. If they didn't find spiders, would they compensate the owner for damage?
