Is the spider still alive & in my room!?

i would sugest just leaveing it alone and let nature take its coarse. if you find it, tell your brother to let it outside, its fairer to the spider. :) thats what i do with the boxleder bugs in my house :) the spider wont hert you unless you really piss it of, and will most likly run away if you TRY to kill it. just try to keep it fair with the little guy:) hes WAY mor afrade of you:)
