Hello,I'm new here so forgive me and my awkwardness as I'm trying to get the hang of using this forum.
I have a question and I was wondering if anybody would be able to help me.
I am fairly new at the hobby but I'm pretty confident that I've grasped the basics.
I've done loads of research on the internet about tarantulas and their specific requirements from humidity to different enclosures.
I am moving to manchester to live with my aunt and she has agreed I can take my tarantula with me (A.chalcodes). I plan on getting a GBB sling in a few weeks.
I know some people might be thinking that I'm rushing into buying more tarantulas but I've had previous experience with 2 other Ts (G. Rosea) and I feel pretty confident that I'm ready to take the next step. Im going for a GBB because they are pretty hardy, make fabulous webbing and although they can be skittish they are not overall defensive. Plus they make great display pets and are at a 'middle level' of you like.
My question is, because my aunt has 3 dogs ( Jack Russel terriers) if God forbid my tarantula was to escape (although I don't see that happening but just incase ) and it was to bite any of her dogs would her dogs die from the bite or just be unwell for a few days ?
I have tried finding the answer online but all I can find are answers on bites from black widows and Wolf spiders.
Obviously I don't plan on letting my T loose and I always make sure I close the lid on her enclosure properly but I just want to let my aunt know what could happen if somehow the T got out.
Any answers would be appreciated! Sorry for my poor sentencing, I haven't slept properly and I'm absolutely knackered. The joys of insomnia
Thankyou in advance
Danielle
