Two feet tall? I believe I would have pooped my pants and then immediately found another domicile.

It was probably a Galapagos Tortoise, they're frequently mistaken for each other.

Saw a 2 foot tall wolf spider in my basement when we first moved in. Preferred Pest Control has been coming since. I haven't seen a crawling bug in my house in 7 years. Also, I think the Preferred Pest guy is an ISU alum. Might be wrong on that.
:eek:
Did it look like this?

Me opening this thread is like me tasting something after my wife goes, "Try this, does this taste bad to you?" I'll be stomping on random pieces of fuzz for the next month.
