This one was in our house the other night. I didn't kill it, because I didn't know if it's a GOOD or BAD spider. The spider wasn't the real size… (Nextdoor Fox Ridge) - I heard a thud outside when doing lawn work and found a baby raccoon on the ground.
The eyes are still closed and the mother hasnt come back for 2 days. WHat can i do to help this little fella? I dont want it to die. EDIT: Thanks… (Nextdoor Quail Hollow)
