High flying L. difficilis

[Veneficus]

I went to feed my male difficilis tonight, and encountered this... I guess he thought he was arboreal bad, hot stuff---"I'm going to mess you up," lol.

Hello........

LOL

Almost as Psalmopoeus.

I don't know what he was thinking--he was up there when I picked up his container, and then he started showing me his sharp pearly blacks...

 

[Moltar]

You think he was just trying not to fall, kind of like a cat in a tree that isn't sure how to get down...?

I've seen situations where a T (that was getting injections) tried to use it's fangs to help them get a grip to crawl away from me, using them almost like little legs. Perhaps he has them out and spread as he has his legs spread out in every direction to catch on whatever he can to improve his grip.
I prefer to think of him perched up there in the corner plotting, thinking, "anything that passes below me is dead!"

almost enough to stop one from handling their T's :? nah

"Holy flying tarantulas batman!!!!!!!!!!!!" Great pics Maybe you left the discovery channel on and decided he was a bat instead of a tarantula

So did he come down yet? That's a nice looking T. Are their setae really that white or is it a trick of the flash?

Their setae is kind of a light pinkish white. The flash made it more white. Yeah, he came down because I threw some roaches in for him to munch. I like the Lasiodora and Nhandu species because they're aggressive feeders.

I hear you! My N. chromatus is the most aggressive 'hunter' of the lot of them. Basically nothing is allowed in its area, roaches/crickets/tongs, etc....
