Notes:   I am a pharmaceutical rep so I travel a lot between farms and I have a huge area, so I see a lot of snakes, spiders and tortoises etc. Recently around Hanover I have seen 2 baboon spiders on the tar road, picked them up and released them over the fence. Will partake and put more sightings on as I see them. Regards Deon
