i want a hisser for my next T. Is it only the King Baboon or does the OBT hiss also?
All slings?G. Rosea, B. Smithi, Pokie, PZB, Versi. Experienced enough.
There are a few species that stridulate, however these are advanced species, much more advanced than you have experience of, I can only give my point of view, but I would wait until you've got some more experience with fast, defensive species, before entering into the unknown, none of the species you have will have given you enough experience to acquire any stridulating sp. Just my two pennies worth, try getting a fast arboreal first, or an OW terrestrial sp. that is not so defensive, I'm thinking of your safety here pal, if you do decide to get a stridulating sp. be very careful. T. blondi stridulate as do, T. stirmi and T. apophysis, to my knowledge.G. Rosea, B. Smithi, Pokie, PZB, Versi. Experienced enough.
We see plenty of beginners who don't know what they're doing, then jump right to advanced species.No sub adult to adult. My question is do OBT's hiss, not how many spiders have I got

Oh goody.I'll make sure my next post quotes that I am not a beginner
Really expensive too. I haven't heard mine ever stridulate yet eitherAny Theraphosa sp. They stridulate when doing anything.
That's odd, mine sounds like a maraca with 8 legs lol. How big is yours? Stirmi aren't too expensive if you wait for the right deal, picked my big girl up at repticon for $60.Really expensive too. I haven't heard mine ever stridulate yet either
About 6". Canada prices mind you. Got mine at the right time for 75 bucks. (1.5") they're now 135 for the same size.That's odd, mine sounds like a maraca with 8 legs lol. How big is yours? Stirmi aren't too expensive if you wait for the right deal, picked my big girl up at repticon for $60.
I thought maybe size would effect how often they stridulate, but mine was the same size before a recent molt. She can be pretty nasty though so maybe that's why she does it so often.About 6". Canada prices mind you. Got mine at the right time for 75 bucks. (1.5") they're now 135 for the same size.
Guess Mines just a sweetheart.I thought maybe size would effect how often they stridulate, but mine was the same size before a recent molt. She can be pretty nasty though so maybe that's why she does it so often.
Being a beginner or not isn't really the issue. The issue is the T and the potential for harm to the keeper. I've been driving since I was 11. I've driven cars, 18 wheelers, front end loaders, etc, but I probably couldn't jump into a tank and drive around in it. It's not that I'm not an experienced driver, I just have no experience with tanks. You may have experience with the species you mentioned but folks around here are understandably concerned when people ask questions like this. Not just for your own safety but that of the animals as well.I'll make sure my next post quotes that I am not a beginner
