Don't have much of a spider problem in the house (touching a lot of wood right now!), although know they're all watching me with a million billion eyes from the garden. Was a bit freaked out by the first snake I saw in our new countryside garden but have got myself up to speed on which ones are totally harmless and which ones to run away from very quickly, shouting aaaarrrrghhhh!!!

Hi pominNoosa - oh my god, the huntsmen in the toilet fiasco!!!!!!!!!! i would have frozen on the spot, screaming screaming inwards - someone would have had to came into the toilet and got me out - probably knickers around the ankle scenario -so i'll tell you what, every time i go out in public in Oz -i'll be wearing my best knickers always!!!

The irony of all of this is that i am a horticulture student!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cane Toads also haunt toilets.. Now those I really don't like. One time I trod on one barefoot, and it was all dried out (dead already) and made a wheezing noise.

But they're also hallucinogenic and poisonous, so apparently the dogs and cats will chase them then get addicted to the hallucinogens, eat a lot of toads and then die from the poison.
