Nit sure if this has been posted, but thought I'd drag it in in case it hsan't been. wasn;t able to see a date on the article, so it may be old news...and not really that big of a deal, I think. Just kind of interesting. It's something like this that earned a few species the "Bird-eating spider" miniker. Had this been witnessed first, they'd be "Snake-eating spiders" instead, I imagine.
Never heard of this Grammostola before, but there are a lot of tarantulas I've never heard of, I'm sure. The article notes that it was probably a meal of circumstance, which is what I would suspect such an occurrence to be. A case of a snake poking its head in the wrong place at the wrong time.
