Spiders I am not mega keen on. I think I told the story of the neighbour's escaped tarantula.
Dunno if you did but my girlfriend's son kept several of them. I went down to the bathroom in the night and saw this furry thing by the shoes. I went to tell her and she said it was probably just a house spider. IT WAS A BIT HAIRY THING!
I told her son who grumpily got up and I was right.
We learned later that it had gone missing a few days earlier when he was cleaning their tanks out and he hadn't told anybody.
Crikey, I remember once putting my slippers on and there was something furry squirming about, a bloody mouse, scream! shock horror! Eeck!

Worse if it had been a spider. Definitely worse.

I had that - but it was a frog in my shoe. My cat had brought it in.
None of these pleasant on bare feet, yuck!
My first flat when I was a student was so manky, every morning there were slug trails in the kitchen.
Yuck, I remember treading on a slug in the garage- in bare feet! Noooo!
feel ill remembering that.
Does anyone know why there are slugs AND snails? What was the evolutionary divergence? Cos snails are quite clever having protection and also having the means for people to move them out of harms way, so why haven't slugs copied them?
Thanks random website... the internet is marvellous...
Even though snails and slugs are similar creatures, snails cannot leave their shells (the shell is a part of its body), and so a slug is a different creature altogether, and not just a shell-less snail.
There are several reasons why slugs don't have shells. One big reason is that slugs mostly like in the ground. Having a shell would make it hard for them to tunnel and dig! Another benefit is that slugs have an easier time finding food than their shelled snail cousins: Snails have to live only in places where they can find and eat a lot of calcium to help them maintain their hard shells. Slugs, who don't have this concern, can live in different places and eat different things!

What did the slug say to the snail?
Big Issue!
