Yeah I know, but articles like these are just generalising. With weaker likely meaning less dangerous on the whole. This isn’t a published paper.

Well for all intents and purposes, you're far more likely to die from a bee sting than a tarantula bite. Becoming allergic to vespid venom is common enough, and the chances of complications of that magnitude from a Tarantula are basically non existant.

Yes it does. I've been through this on my thread that is stickied. It is possible, just unlikely given the make up of tarantula venom. I will copy and past what I have written before: Anaphylaxis: Tons of interest in this topic and speculation, some correct to a degree and others not so...

A baby, possible. But if you were to seek medical attention, most likely no. Many things are a risk to babies with their weakened immune systems. So it would be wise to treat any Tarantula as potentially fatal to a baby. 2 month old children have been stung by Centruroides sculpturatus - a...

No, most likely just a bit of cyanosis - lack of oxygen in the blood in that particular area. Although from my memory, when i saw the pic i swear it was really poor quality - so was hard to tell the extent of it.

That does sound like an allergic reaction on some level, not the greatest - obviously. But in terms of if you were to take a pokie bite, true spider venom and tarantula venom are very different in composition. You wouldn't be allergic to a pokie, but you may well be allergic to another true...

If you bothered to look at my thread posts, you'd find it.

She's so bloody cute. I want her so much lol. Actual perfect face.

Can you please post more pics of her? :) I don't come on here as I'm not keeping T's anymore, but had to come on to ask for more pics of her. I'm cat obsessed and need more pics of her in my life haha.

Guess they all are a bit different. I'm not keeping T's anymore, but the one i was looking after was annoying lol. Would always try and run out whenever i opened the lid. Maybe because it was a mature male? As it was never hiding, always walking about and ready to make a run for it.

Well, they can if they're highly stressed or ill. Even then, I've had to force feed baby Malayan pit vipers that were perfectly healthy, for a year and half before they would eat for themselves. Some snakes that are obligate amphibian feeders when young for example, simply will not take...

Considering spiders contain melanin, it's wise to assume that an albino is possible. http://jeb.biologists.org/content/early/2015/10/07/jeb.128801

You have issues. Go see a psychiatrist. What's so wrong about commenting on an old thread with relevant information? Rather than creating new ones, which won't contain posts from members that no longer frequent the forums. Posts which may contain some useful information/opinions.

By the way, peat moss is like one of the worst things for fugus gnats. They love the stuff. I have some of them right now, but they appear to have almost completely disappeared by letting the sub dry out a bit more than usual.

Nope, because I think locusts and the like are disgusting/ugly animals. Unlike cute mice or chicks, that I have to feed to my snakes. Makes me wish my snakes could be veggie haha.

Well, funnily enough they've raised their price by £34 now lol. Maybe they agreed with TSS to raise the price. http://spidershop.pl/ I bought slings from them for £50 each - just a month ago.

You can buy those slings for £34 less from someone else. I wouldn't call £84 expensive, though.

Thanks :)

Indeed they are :) Oh, yeah i know, i agree. Too far gone now.

Violet. I don't know why people care so much if someone names their T's. It's their animal. I don't name mine, but there's literally no point in adding useless comments.
