B. hamori oozing venom

  • BMQ
Anybody Ever See a T Ooze This much venom before? Kevin Durantula had been doing laps around his enclosure, oozing venom.
Could be grooming fluid since he's not in a threat posture. Though I've never seen THAT much.
Also, Kevin Durantula? Brb killing myself
 
@spotropaicsav Venom is not as viscous as cleaning fluid, so it doesn't form drops as big. Then the tarantula should have it's fangs extended to drop venom - not the case here. And the position of the drop seems wrong for venom.
 
@boina thanks boina! Ill have to browse more photos to compare. I can't imagine I would be able to distinguish easily from online pics though. Probably seeing the T up close I could note these differences. I don't think I've ever observed my Ts having any fluids oozing from their mouth parts, unless they have a prey item sticking out:) And in that case it's just a big oozy mushy glob:p
