    Researchers Create Artificial Spider Silk Spinner

    Haha giant sling shot. That would be grand. Or maybe universal fishing string. You could catch anything from a perch to a 500 lb bluefin without having to change the line!

    T species for room temperatures??

Mainly because of the fact that most T's in the trade are captive bred, and have never had to adapt to the conditions where they are found.
