We have some cool spiders in Australia, unfortunatly they're all deadly and are out to kill you. I found a palm - sized spider behind my aquarium here in China, My Chinese friend told we it wasn't poisonous, so I got rid of my fish and water and made a new home for my furry friend (spiders are much cooler pets)

Do you guys often find little intruders? Scorpions? Rattlesnakes?

there are scorpions everywhere in Baja and you must shake out any shoes left outside BEFORE you put them on.

In our 8 years living in La Bocana, we have seen scorpions inside our house maybe 3 times but we are ultra careful to keep screen doors closed at all times.

we have also seen one rattler on our porch and one other in the dunes -they are out there but not in droves where we are.

Bendrix, if you like pets, check one of these little toys out:

I have a 10 year-old little scorpion carcass I saved for posterity, and it still glows quite well in the dark. A must-have for desert living.

Lots of Rattlers this year. You have to be careful where you walk, and for your dogs.
