hahaha to cute.

I want one of these sooooooo bad, but my mom doesn't want one in the house, she likes Ts, (especially pokies and T. blondi) but she doesn't want something known for its aggression in the house just in case it got out.

Some of them aren't too bad. LOL. With mine when it was smaller it threw tantrums and was lighting fast but as it got older it's a big webber but lazy. Half the time I can poke it pulling old webs and it just steps to the side like here. Do I really have to move now. Others can be real monsters.:D

Ya, I think I over exaggerated a bit the first time I told her about them, I have a tendency to do that, but theres no convincing her now. should have kept my mouth shut. (I think she's mostly doing it for the sake of my dad and sisters sanity)

LOL. I made the same mistake with my EX. He tried to call it my "DEADLY T" for court but my awesome attorney screwed that up for him. LOL. My son is scared to death of it but my daughter loves it. She stand at the cage for hours. "Hold mommy hold." :D "No baby not that one." She is fearless.

that is why I have an OBT not only for their color but their attitude, funny when they are so pissed off they fall over :)

I am making some T shirts for my personal use and am having trubble finding a good picture of a T in threat posture. My Idea is to have a picture of a T and a scorpian in threat posture saying "We just need a hug!"

If you have any pictures that you would not mind me cropping and putting on a T shirt, please post them! I also think the pictures could help out newbies and everyone can enjoy stunning pictures. :)

My Lasiodora parahybana surprised me with this on Sunday. Two days before, it had eaten 10 crickets in 8 or 10 hours! That usually takes some 2 days before it is hungry again, but when I threw in the crickets, it gave me its first threat pose I have seen from it (have only owned it for 6 weeks now after a friend gave it to me).

My guess is it just hit premoult, since it still wouldn't take any today and gave me another threat pose. Mind you, I have held this T. a few times and it won't even kick hairs at me! It is due. It is 5.25" and just molted 6 weeks ago! Boy do these things grow fast.

They're only asking for hugs until the fangs are pointing directly at you. Either that or high-fives.

My OBTs are hilarious, fangs out venom dripping, and they can stay there for hours. just for moving their box. gotta love em. nice pics btw all.
