That's a very purty H. maculata. So, without going through a zillion bite reports, has there _ever_ been a report of anyone getting bitten while simply handling a tarantula "casually", as shown in this video? (As opposed to doing cage maintenance, or losing control of one, etc.)


PC
Back when I use to casually handle my inverts, I was bitten [but not envenomated] by an adult female H. hainanum. So obviously it happens, but I would conclude from what I've read that you aren't as likely to be bitten while casually handling as opposed to general maintenance and packing/unpacking. But yes, I certainly does happen. Though I've also been bitten on two seperate occasions during day-to-day cage maintenance tasks as well.

TBH

Lugardi are great, but both of my females stay in burrows and are never seen. The only one I see is the 1/4" sling lol

Thank you so very much I bought it as like a 2i and she said it was a Fort Hall Baboon but it was only 5 dollars so I was like cool. Thank you so much


Fort Hall Baboon would be P. lugardi :) I have a few of them too, but mine stay burrowed mostly.. whereas my P. chordatus are out and about

Tommy - don't blame US, you know you want more anyways :D

That's a beautiful T, but the background music just ruins it for me. I think I'd rather listen to Dan crap his pants. There was whole thread about the desire of many to place screaming thrash metal as background music, I just don't get it.
