    Old world venom?

    I was just wondering what contributed into making some of the venomous Aussie animals so potent compared to some from the rest of the world. Not particularly about spiders just all venomous in general.

    Old world venom?

    Well according to wikipedia, which I'm not sure how accurate it is, but it states that "Funnel-web spider venom contains a compound known as atraxotoxin which is highly toxic to primates." But once again I am not sure how accurate that statement is.

    Old world venom?

    So a few days ago I saw that we have some Aussie T's in the hobby now. Which brings me to think that they would be even more dangerous than say Pokies and some African species. Since Australia has some of the most deadly snakes on the planet like Notechis scutatus, Oxyuranus Microlepidotus, and...

    Weird after molt behavior?

    Alright I went to bed at around 4:00 am? When I went to sleep I saw my 5" female P. platyomma flipped. Well I awoke at 8:30 and decided to remove the molt and noticed it was acting really funny. When it moved it was somewhat sluggish, like not all its legs were working, and seemed like it was...

    Here she is! Now 2" I tried to sex ventrally but I'm not sure if I did it right, and she pretty much destroyed her molt. Anyways, just wanted to share. Now I have three more T's in pre-molt. Can't wait to see how they turn out.

    what do you think about this?

    People are to blame not the snakes. I think Flordia needs to actually enforce its laws on giant snakes. Especially burms, people buy something and do not know what they are getting into. I'm almost positive Florida has a law that states any Burmese that is bought is to be microchipped. But...

    Bamboo?

    PVC pipes would be awesome, have you ever taken a blowtorch to some and burnt them to make them look like logs or something? I think...they have a tutorial of it on "cutegayjasons" youtube page. It's meant for green tree pythons but can be used for T's too I'm sure, just fit them in the cage or...

    Ah, my mothers friends came yesterday and she wanted me to meet them. She brought them to my room and my mom was showing them my snakes and tarantulas.

    How is it different from your attitude calling him that and someone else little boys? I'm not trying to start anything, truth is I'm just saying you do not have to be so hostile.
