hi i may get a T - APOPHYSIS at 5cm in size any advice you good people got for me as i never had one of these ? ---phil
I have one almost fullgrown female and 2 slings of that gender. I like them alot, but it is definately not a T you want to handle. My big female is pretty unpredictable when i do cleaning and such in the terrarium, sometimes she just ignores me and other times she just attacks without warning:?hi i may get a T - APOPHYSIS at 5cm in size any advice you good people got for me as i never had one of these ? ---phil
Yes PLEASE use gloves just in case she/he gives you som hairs from hell:8o But of course i had to do my big blunder with my big Apophysis, and i tell you, the hairs are no fun at all, but the slings hairs is also pretty bad.thanks that helped me a lot and i would look out for the hairsand i always use gloves with all my ( ts )

HOSPITAL!?!?!? for urticate hairs.Just be careful about the hairs, 2 weeks ago i got a full pot of hairs on my hands and ended up in hospital to get them fixed.
My hand felt like 200degrees warm and i was really itching very badly, i kpt rubbing my hands together and they got even warmer;(HOSPITAL!?!?!? for urticate hairs.WOW it must have been bad!! What happened to your hands and what did they do for it at the hospital??
Just curious - what did they say or how did they act when you told them what caused the problem?? :}My hand felt like 200degrees warm and i was really itching very badly, i kpt rubbing my hands together and they got even warmer;(
They gave me some allergi pills wich can help it, and some local sedative drug. And lastly they gave me a injection directly in my veins a drug against a really strong allergic reaction. It helped![]()
They were quite surprised, but the nurse was also very curious to know about the animals and why i have them. And not surprisingly she told me to remember gloves EVERY time i open the terrarium.Just curious - what did they say or how did they act when you told them what caused the problem?? :}
Yes, please try it!Cool then, when I am back home from a snowstorm I'll know how to warm my hands!!!
Hence the confusion...I am not all that great with the common names. Good luck with it!goliath pink foot![]()
