As an animal advocate I love and respect all beings on earth however my shadow creature are spiders I’m petrified of them how can he let this spider walk over his hands like that brave man

Wow. I grew up in South Africa, many things want to either eat or kill you there too. Moved to the UK and can’t be happier, wild life is beautiful here. Bunnies, foxes, hares, hedgehogs, not to mention the song birds that I’m listening to at the moment. Not even sharks in our waters. Jip, keep the snakes and everything else. Please don’t tell me you have fantastic weather because there is nothing like a British summer. LOL thank you for having me UK!
