I saw a T blondi catch a fer-de-lance on tv. It might be the same one that you saw. It was either on Animal Planet or Nat Geographic Channel.RichardDegville said:Didn't a Theraphosa blondi catch and kill a Fer-de-lance snake in the Giant Spiders documentary? I thought it was pretty cool and here's most of us brits forced by law to feed dead mice or crickets to our beloved beasts yeh I know they can survive on them but its not very natural is it now?
You might be surprised at what anatomical configurations exist in the mouth region of a tarantula...Diane S said:Spiders have BEAKS???? Is that what you call a "Birdspider", LMAO!
