It wouldn't be INSTANT, tarantulas are really very shy. And it really wouldn't be a fight, the spider would be defending itself against the snake's unwitting intrusion. Unless it were a huge spider and a baby ball, because I think a big baboon spider would straight up eat a baby ball python. So all I'm saying is it might take a few days.

(if you can't tell, i've got a spider and some snakes and i like them both very much.)

Peter: It's OK, I'll handle it. I read a book about something like this.

Brian: Are you sure it was a book? Are you sure it wasn't NOTHING?
