For those who have not seen the Harry Potter Movies there is a giant spider named Aragog in the movie. The spider is bigger then a car and also talks... If you could would you own a spider of this size?

***Spoiler****

The spider does die of age and the picture I attached is the best one I could find for size reference.

No. I couldn't afford to feed her.
I never watched an 'Harry Potter' movie (that's too much for me) so, speaking without a clue about 'Aragog', I have reasons to believe that a spider such size can eat without issues humans. And humans are "free".

Are we turned in full "empathy" my man? :kiss:

It'd get pretty suspicious if the ASDA delivery drivers kept going missing.

No. It would probably kill you, after telling you beforehand that it was going to kill you.

Yes, I will keep a spider such 'Aragog'.

But I would love to keep 'Queelag' more. There's a pretty lovely not so spider part I would gladly help with, when molt is discussed :)

Aragog controls millions of spiders... He could hold his own against her.
You sure? After all, plenty of tarantula breeders will tell you what happens when a female turns on a male...

Besides, Shelob's mother (Ungoliant) was such a voracious eater that she devoured herself, straight up ouroboros style.

Put your female in a container with 100 males and see what happens :p

Shelob's children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc. etc. etc. are quite numerous, who says she doesn't have her own back up?

I want to see someone make this happen lol, sort of like Deadliest Warrior, They would put ancient fighting forces stats into a computer program and have them fight to see who is the superior force. Someone needs to make this happen with these two spider foes :D

Go big or go home. Shelob.

Go big or go home? Then Ungoliant. Read up on her she was definitely the most fierce and largest of all spiders. She almost defeated Morgoth(Sauron's Master) if not for the aid of the Balrogs.

Things got nerdy real quick here lol but I'm a huge J.R.R. Tolkien fan.

Just knowing the nature of spiders is enough for me to refuse. Definitely not interested unless I wanna be turned into a giant bolus.

Heresy! The only one with such a power is the Goddess 0.1 Pelinobius muticus PBUH (Peace Be Upon Her) and this is an incontrovertible fact not even arachnid-pundits like Jacobi, Schultz etc can't deny :)

Nope. For the same reasons I don't want to own a tiger, Kodiak bear, or great white shark.
