can i handel it?That is a wolf spider in the genus Rabidosa. (R. rabida and R. punctulata occur in Tennessee.)
It's not dangerously venomous or especially defensive, if that's what you mean. (They are more likely to try to escape than bite.)can i handel it?
ok *sighs under breath* (debby downer)... JKIt's not dangerously venomous or especially defensive, if that's what you mean. (They are more likely to try to escape than bite.)
But I generally don't handle my pet spiders -- tarantulas or araneomorphs. I consider them to be more of a display pet, like fish. Handling creates an unnecessary risk of escape or injury (to the spider) and provides no benefit to the spider.
thanks for the gibbirishFor handling purposes, I'd recommend Atrax, Phoneutria or Crotalids. Walther-PK also makes an excellent toy.
yes let me just pick up this brizilian wandering spider one of the most deadly spiders in the worldFor handling purposes, I'd recommend Atrax, Phoneutria or Crotalids. Walther-PK also makes an excellent toy.
Yeah I did some Googleing and there a very docile species so I'm gunna probably try handling it (with gloves a t first and if that goes well possibly without gloves)I plan on taming my Sicarius through daily handling.
Can't tell of this is a joke, but it's not a good idea. No point of risking a bite from a species with, I believe, 0 antivenin. Especially not in America. IMO, tiny spiders are too fast for me to actually handle. I would fear they could run off of my hand much more quickly than my slow T's canYeah I did some Googleing and there a very docile species so I'm gunna probably try handling it (with gloves a t first and if that goes well possibly without gloves)
He's talking about his wolf spider I'm sure, not Sicarius.Can't tell of this is a joke, but it's not a good idea. No point of risking a bite from a species with, I believe, 0 antivenin.

He was just teasing you.yes let me just pick up this brizilian wandering spider one of the most deadly spiders in the world
That sums it up quite well. With the exception of a certain animal the keeper has established a special rapport with, handling the animal indicates it is regarded as something less than a zoological specimen and throws a shade on the motivations of the keeper and the hobby itself.It's not dangerously venomous or especially defensive, if that's what you mean.

This is PETA level crazy. Want to know if a dog breed is likely to be gentle? Why don't you go live with a wild bear? Want to know if a species of tarantula is safe to have around children? Why don't you just let a handful of recluse loose in your house? How dare you express interest in whether an animal tolerates humans. In fact how dare you collect them at all, that's not natural!Spiders MAY bite, inclusive of Phoneutria and Atrax. Not good enough if handling is your interest. Go straight to Crotalidae.
I'd rather live with a bear, or a pig, or whatever animal than being forced to be even close to the point to breath the same air of one of those leftiest terrorist lowlife called PETA that I advocate against them a good Safari of "search & destroy" and later, being condemned to Damnatio MemoriaeThis is PETA level crazy.Why don't you go live with a wild bear?
They're camouflaged so well unfortunately.PETA = A cancer of the modern world.
I hear you Man/Lady. You have a good point. But they can throw poop in the eyes of - I can't exactly use the proper words due to rulez - freaks that drink every garbage the neoliberal media offer them like guinea pigs. This thanks also to the "work" of the corrupted, anti traditionalism & tradition, freemason cocaine drug addicted walking garbage called "VIP" (like the Hollywood actor $$$ freaks) that promotes and support their disgusting, immoral, criminal activity. For fashion, cash and what else :-sThey're camouflaged so well unfortunately.
