Hi..

I have heard so many times that Poecilotheria miranda has a very special way to strech out the front legs when they are in defensive mode... but I have never seen it in person nor even a photo.. (maby because they run away to easy :rolleyes: :wall: )

Anybody that have a photo of this weird behavior?

Thanks..//Björn

Hi! Bearo...

You heard it from me that P. miranda have a different defending pose. :} I´l try to take some pictures for you, but none of my 5 P. miranda females were aggressive!?... I have only see this fascinating defending pose about 2-3 times! So i did a sketch! ;) note the fangs of P. miranda (pointing straight forward)
