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 hairs and i always use gloves with all my ( ts ) ---- phil
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 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
