Poecilotheria Venom Vs. True Spider Venom ( black widow, brown recluse)

[ARACHNO-SMACK48]

From what I have heard from my European friends, being able to speak English is fairly common in Europe. Americans cannot say the same about European languages.

I've heard that same thing. If you really think about its pretty uncommon for an American to be fluent in a second language

Here is a map showing percentage of people in EU countries able to hold a conversation in english.

Also depends where you go. I visited the Bavaria region in Germany and not a lot of the natives could speak English, which I did know German but I learned High German aka Northern German so I still had to get used to the dialect. Switzerland appeared to have more English speakers, which was great because their German dialect was even harder to understand.

What? I can't understand anything he says...just awful

Seriously though Chris, if you didn't tell, we'd have probably never gave it a thought. You do significantly better than many who's first language actually IS English.

I wish I was literate in several languages:clap:

Thanks. You're too good, guys.

Thanks. You're too good, guys.

The use of the word too is often misused, I like to think of it as an alternate to "also". The number 2, which was your intent, should be "two".


Sorry, I couldn't help myself:laugh:

It's not my ability to care for the spider and my ability to take great care to avoid being bitten that makes me anxious. It's that tiny chance that I could be bitten at some point and the effects of that bite that scare me. So which would be more painful on average an adult female P. Ornata bite or a black widow bite? If I do get this T I plan to house it in one of my modified ten gallon with a plexiglass lid that I have made ( similar to what robc uses) so it will not require a rehouse for the rest of its life. Though I am nervous, as anyone should be, about being bitten, I have no problem rehousing the T as I have dealt with much faster and more agressive T's in the past and been just fine. It's only the venom potency that scares me.

+1 Avoiding being bitten is very easy keep your hands away from such Ts, and feed then with tongs . There is always that rare chance the spider could run on your tongs, but this has never happened to me./

Oversized cages also give a spider abilitty to run away, this can save you from getting bitten.
Hides can also be built in every Ts cage, I give mine deli cups etc..
