My only real scare ever was about 2 months ago with my 1.25" Oligoxystre diamantinensis sling, it started out a routine feeding and filling of water dish day as I got to my od it looked like it had just moulted the colours were so vivid so I opened the enclosure to do what needed to be done and in an instant it was out and on my thumb so I reached for my catch cup in the hope it would be easy. Well my od didn't have the same plan and proceeds to bolt at break neck speed up my left arm and sit right in my armpit at this point 2 things are going through my head 1st if it bites it's gonna be painful despite it being a new world and secondly how do I get my t-shirt off without losing the tarantula anyway calmly I managed to get my shirt off and found the sling sat on the inside of my shirt

Man, if I had a dollar for every time I've brought a tarantula into a restaurant...well, I'd have $3.
Ah ah ah... i remember here, prior to the 2003 Ban, enthusianst trading T's (potent venom like Stromatopelma calceatum included) in vials or cricket packets under restaurant, or pizzerie, tables.
