I used to hold Garter snakes until one dumped its stinky stuff on me, so now I don't hold them any more. I was also bit by what my father incorrectly called Daddy Longleg spiders. Only in adulthood did I read that daddy longlegs spin webs and the spider I was bit by did not. I was holding the spider and it wanted to run off me, but I kept putting my other hand in front so that it ran from hand to hand. It got fed up running and took a bite of my hand. It hurt and I flicked it off and it got what it wanted.
