Yeah when the spider (P. nigriventer) rushed down on the floor and that guy put his foot infront of it. It just kept going up his leg, lucky him it didnt go inside the pants.. lol
Not the most cleaver move to do.

Yeah not too bright, I agree. We dont see Phoneutria offered often here in the states, I only saw them on Glades Herps pricelist once a few years back. Awesome spiders you have there, thanks for sharing all the great pics.

thats the brazillian wandering spider right? Not keen on scientific names for non Ts... Man... if what I hear about their venom is true and how fast they are I would be scarred sh!@less to keep one.
