Wow, guess I won't be trying that anytime soon; getting these guys to trust you and then keeping that trust isn't always easy, they're quite sensitive characters ime.
A couple of years ago there was a story going around about a lady saying her kid was nearly blinded by sleeping on one these millipedes:
Thai Mother Claims Poison From A Millipede Nearly Blinded Her Son
Worried mother Anchana Kaiphet was awoken to the screams of her son, when she reached him was unable to open his eye which was covered in a yellow liquid

Oh yes lol. And multiple species of spider as large as your hand, we have solifugids (camel spiders), vinegaroons, and even trees called a manchineel- a tree so toxic that rain drops that fall through it's leaves will themselves become so toxic that if they fall on you, your skin will form huge blisters before peeling off. The tree's poison can blind. If you eat any of it, you will die.
Why anyone wants to love here is completely beyond me to be honest ???
Yeah the trust is a big deal. I felt bad after I did that.Wow, guess I won't be trying that anytime soon; getting these guys to trust you and then keeping that trust isn't always easy, they're quite sensitive characters ime.

That's nuts that it almost blinded that kid!
Honestly? That seems entirely reasonable ?
Australians laugh at the stuff you have, it is nothing compared to what they have lol.
I took some pictures of the trees changing colors near my college.
Wow, I didn’t know Florida had such large creepy crawlies. Lol
That’s crazy about the tree?
I’ve been looking at houses in Florida and getting more and more serious about a big move. Haha? I’ll take the big bugs and killer trees over endless negative temperatures. We have a snow storm hitting tomorrow night and just the thought makes me want to cry.
Yeah I'll take my chances with 15' predatory reptiles over snow any day lmao.
Plus, for a nature nerd, all the unique wildlife down here isn't exactly a bad thing if we're being honest. Just gotta figure out which ones not to touch

Coming home after some Black Friday shopping my husband spotted this beautiful snowy owl on an electronic poll.
I’ve seen less then a handful of these guys in the wild, so it was very special.
