Yes, but they tend to be sated by the stupid tourists. If you don't go swimming where you're not supposed to or bushwhacking near water holes, your chances of becoming Gator Chow are pretty dang low.

Funnelwebs, though . . . they're small, and can get into places like buildings, hotels, airtight anti-spider tourist containers, that sort of thing. And they want to, because they're out to get me.

And crocodiles can't hide in your shoes.

You know, I really wish my grandfather's fear of spiders hadn't rubbed off on me. I'm not as bad as he was; I'm of course joking up above, but he'd mean it durn near seriously. Still, they give me the creepy-crawlies in insensible ways, and so the thought of moderately aggressive, extremely deadly spiders tends to make me quiver a bit. It's a good thing my grandfather didn't know about the funnelweb when we went over there.
