Man Opens Parcel Marked 'Return to Sender'...You Won't Believe What He Found
Posted by Lolade on Fri 04th Sep, 2015 - tori.ngA man who opened parcel tagged 'return to sender', wished he hadn't opened it after finding the bizarre content!
A man who opened a package at his new address wished he hadn't when he found a large tarantula inside.
The letter was addressed 'return to sender' and contained a Brazilian Salmon Pink Birdeater, the third largest spider in the world.
Postage dates on the parcel showed it had been unopened for three weeks and the tissue bedding in the tarantula's container had gone mouldy.
The man, who lives in Bristol, took the spider to Highcroft Veterinary Group in Whitchurch in the city, where it was examined and found to be "very unwell".
Vets confirmed the spider as a Brazilian Salmon Pink Birdeater, which can grow to have a leg span of 28cm and are known to be semi-aggressive.
The species, with 2.5cm fangs, are capable of 'kicking' hairs from their abdomen as a defence mechanism, which can be a skin irritant and cause blindness.
