Venomous, kiddo. Ts are venomous, not poisonous.;)
Then where's the medical significance. And who cares about being careful and advanced level cautionary precautions then. Screw this crap mabey I should just get what I want. If it won't kill you it's not a big deal. Just a discomfort

What?
Being venomous instead of poisonous doesn't make them less dangerous! It is only the way the venom is distributed that makes the difference. Venom needs to be injected by teeth or stings. Poison needs to be ingested or come in through the skin. A dart frog is poisonous. A wasp is venomous. A rattlesnake is venomous, a plant can be poisonous.

Difference:
If you drink rattlesnake venom, it won't harm you -- just probably tastes like crap.
If a rattlesnake envenomates you aka fangs you'll feel the problem right quick.
If you drink poison, you'll be hurting/dead.
I believe that the difference is ingestion vs fangs.
Sorry. Getting sleepy.
Wasn't dissing you, just trying to inform.

Another thing, i don't think people who were bitten by a Poecilotheria species or a P.murinus would call it a 'discomfort' ;)

I googled it and it said that poison is lethal and venom isnt. I still agree with you though and think venom can still be dangerous. also the amount injected. Ya I think it can be lethal. I was just kind of knocked off sideways not thinking proper I suppose when corrected as venomous not poisonous

It is always fun seeing them handle multiple smaller crickets. On the times I use pre-kill, I also love to watch P. cams or N. incei reach up out of a burrow and try to rake multiple crickets into the burrow without exiting the burrow to get them.

Yeah, they are like cats who go hunting and see a fish, only sticking one paw out and stretch to avoid getting wet :D

Hi you
Rattlesnake tastes stringy but not too bad.
I had to kill it...it was about to fang the blue heeler pup I had at that time. Buried the head strung the entrails over a sandstone boulder (we were WAAAAY out in the boonies), and took the rest home.

:eek: Are we seriously off topic or what?o_O
No wwere not off topic. Where theres rattlesnakes theres a high probability of tarantulas

So am I, it seems. I really had good intentions. It's amazing.
Like, you offer a starving man who doesn't even know he's starving a fish, yet he refuses the fish because you explained to him that the people who taught him not to eat are idiots.
I can't get my head around this.
It's crazy.

But you're right, I'll shut up. :)
