New Tarantula Owner/Pink Zebra Beauty

[hairmetalspider]

You need not worry about a bite from your Pink Beauty either. There are as easy going as a Sunday morning. Lovely T indeed, very docile.

You need not worry about getting bit from any T, but should rather be aware that any T can, and will, bite at any given moment, regardless of stereo typical behavior or past experiences.

This is also an insanely old thread, and a lot of the information given is incorrect.

With all due respect, so what if it is an old thread. I dont see many on this sp anyway and am interested in any out there. Any "corrections" to the incorrect info given is appreciated.

Cheers

There's nothing wrong with reviving an old thread if there is new and valuable information to be added, but quite frankly, this was not one of them.
Most of the time people respond to old threads with opinions and random comments that simply reactivate old threads and clog up the boards with threads that are done and over with.(Thus, why they haven't been read or commented on for years.)
It was no disrespect towards you, but in all due honesty, you can find a TON of threads on this species using the search function. It also didn't seem like you brought the thread back up to learn more about the species, but rather to imply that this species does not bite, which isn't true.
Nothing personal, have at it. Maybe we'll learn something new.
(Above all, NEVER use a sponge in your T cage.) The "PZB" is also scientifically known as Eupalaestrus campestratus, although this may vary because common names are bull and easily manipulated for various species.
Alright, there's my contribution.

In my experience, PZBs are the most docile T out there. You can do virtually anything to/with them and they won't bite. Ours is the one T I let my 5 year old handle any time she cares to and with virtually no supervision (she knows to sit down on the floor and hold it low in case it falls, etc.). You don't need to touch its abdomen with a paint brush before handling it or do any of the things recommended for more defensive Ts--you can essentially just reach in and grab it. Don't sweat it.

I suppose in theory someone out there could have a highly defensive E. campestratus, but I have yet to hear of it. There's not a single bite report of a PZB. Technically speaking, any tarantula can bite. Some species, however, don't seem to have the temperament to do so. Have you ever heard of a defensive PZB, Corey? :? :? :? Once again, you have no idea what you're talking about. ()

Excuse me?

For someone to state that a tarantula will not bite is completely assanin. Regardless of popular beliefs and experiences, any tarantula can and will bite you under the right circumstances. The statement "A tarantula will not bite you" is false. Thus, my statement.

If you have an issue you'd like to discuss, you can PM me, but please refrain from making smart alec comments and bold statements in which you don't know what you're talking about. You're very quickly losing my support here on the boards.
