We had one that lived in the living room above our TV for a few months, my 5 year old called it Buttercup! Not sure how she came up with that. the whole time Buttercup was there we didn't see one white tip spider which our house had loads of.

When it comes to descriptions of snakes/spiders, the use of the word 'harmless' can be misleading. If a big huntsman bites you will running around screaming in pain like a little girl! How the hell is that 'harmless'? We need new terms for such things....mutter mutter....
