Haha thats actually her lid holder, placed in between the two holes, then an elastic put on each end, holds the lid down. But i see what you mean ahahah

The meanest tarantula I can think of is the rose hair that bit me. The others have been pretty laid back.

I'd have to agree with the daddy long legs...those things are nasty, and they sneak up on you so much better than a T. Plus they "bite" me more than any spider....(too bad their fangs are so itty bitty XD)

Why would you possibly want to know that? I just started the hobby, and so do not want a defensive T, seeing as I've only had a T for 6 months and don't consider myself even close to experienced enough to handle a "mean" T. If you haven't had a T at all, chances are started with a very defensive species is just going to result in injury of both you and the spider.

You want something scary and mean? Get a toy sized dog. That'll do the trick.
for the toy size dog request.... my sister already has a tea cup Chihuahua and it drops bombs in my room, along with number 1s :p and i already have an F7 Savannah (cat) who is basically a child! anyways.. i got my first T on Nov 24th! a Bvagans.... NOW i have 3 more, Ageniculata, Lparahybana, Grosea and i am looking for more (one of which will lead the pack) :/

Ive seen some L.P's that werepretty agressive, beautiful species. I have an l.p. sling now. I have twe "O.B.T.'s": (Pterinochilus murinus) and they are easily my most agressive/defensive tarantula. They do NOT like to be bothered and have beautiful orange and black colors. I'll try to attach a photo or two of mine. View attachment 97580 View attachment 97581
perfect ;)

Those cat looks so awesome. Huge too. I don't how you take care of it though. The whole reason I got into T's is because they are easy to care for and you can disappear for a week, even two and your T's will be fine.
I hate those little dogs! :p They bark at everything!!

Also, I can safely say that I have never been woken up by a noisy T and can't see it happening lol.

Be very cautious when rehousing the O.B.T. if you get one. Mine was lightning fast and before I knew it it had ran up my arm and jumped onto the floor (I was sitting down). They are fast, defensive, and apparently pack a potent bite.

That being said, you can generally find sling's fairly cheap. I even saw slings at the Pomona Reptile Super Show for $4 each!
