(Story snipped)
As much as I am willing to co-exist with my spider on my back light, there is a big difference between him and other spiders. Particularly Australian ones! I spent a few days in Sydney a few years ago, and although I feared coming across an Australian-grade spider, the only ones I saw was at a wildlife place - behind glass. Obviously, Sydney is a big city and probably isn't the most desirable habitat for spiders, but that didn't help rationalize the fear of finding a big one in my hotel room, on the train, etc.
If I had an experience like yours, I'd be scarred for life.
