I got a first hand look at some H. maculata venom!! Took the egg sack away from momma mac and she decided to teach that stick a lesson!! Left some venom on it!

Beautiful pics!! Just made me want to get a better camera...I love those EXTREAM EXTREAM Macro shots...mine only does Quasi macro

 

[tarsier]

thanks guys. Its a female maculata. She has produced one egg sac for me about a year ago.
the other is a P. regalis. She is my oldest tarantula, just over ten years.

Very beautiful!

 

[OldHag]

Shes purty!!! I wanna see the pictures after that one where she bites you and you fall to the ground in a wave of muscle spazms and agony

My girl is very mellow, she has never threatened me, even when I took her eggsack from her. She just tried to hide.

Your a braver human than I!! Of course, I dont hold any of mine.. I have a bite phobia.. UGH I hate being bitten.

 

[MindUtopia]

Yes, H. maculata are very pretty!

H. maculata is an aboreal African species.

She's more nervous than anything. She decideds when its time to go back in her cage by dropping her fangs. As long as you heed their warnings; bites while handling don't occur all that often. At least from my experience.

Old Hag: That's probably a good phobia to have. I don't think any one likes to be bitten. It just kinda happens. I accept the fact I could get bitten and the results of that bite too.

taorchard1987: These are beautiful T's and a bit more aggressive. Do your research on them. Don't let previous bad experiences with arboreals stop you from getting another one. Just research anything and everything you can on H. Maculata. Make sure you're prepared for a fast and aggressive T. Like I said My H. Maculata is one of my favs. in my "collection". She's also one of the most defensive too.

Glad to see yall enjoyed the pic.

I have a 5 inch gravid female , never seen any signs of aggression but then again i consider all my T's LOOK AT ONLY......
