Gloves ... lol :?

 

[SouthernStyle]

Gloves ... lol :?

They Work well while doing a bit of cage maintence...That Female LOVES to bite (typical I hear) But Those gloves are Law Enforcement gloves, Rated as "Stick proof" figured I'd wear them to AVOID the bite...And She tried, Didnt get through....havn't needed them since then though~ Just for work and so forth

 

[CedrikG]

Lol ... I was going to reply a text, but I'll avoid to say what I think of all this, its your thread I dont want to ruin it. But im pretty sure you know what I think of that.

I would just say that if you are to afraid to handle it without glove, and if you get bitten everytime you handle it ... you clearly have a problem with dealing with them, and should leave all this to those who have year's of experience, hard studying and breeding with this kind of species.

No offense, but you clearly dont know what you are doing my friend

I'll leave it where it stands, Not worried about handling her without a glove now, If I get bit, It happens...Life goes on, The Gloves Were there as an EXTRA MEANS to PREVENT her from landing a bite..Again as you said I'm not going to step over this much more, You're entitled to your oppinion as I am to mine

 

[CedrikG]

Yes, you're right.

Starting a debate about it is a waste of time

"You're wrong!!!"

"No im not"

"Yes you are!"

"NO!!"

 

[T. Junkie1]

You know when you're working with a T with a temperment like any of the Haps have I think it's wise to handle them with gloves, if you handle them at all. If what I've read here is any indication they have a fairly potent bite and one individual may have a more severe reaction to the venom than someone else. I have 3 Haplopelmas (2 lividum, 1 longipes) and 2 of them will strike if you look at them crosseyed much less try to pick them up and the 3rd is only slightly more patient than the others. Just because someone chooses to be safe because they know what an animal is capable of doesn't mean they don't know what they are doing, to me it means just the opposite. The point is neither of you is really wrong in the way you choose to handle your T's because it's just that, a choice.

NEW addition!

This Little girl came to me today from Exotic Pets in Las Vegas...The Container is just a temporary housing for a bit (just a Sterilite Holiday bow container) but I may actucally end up using it as a cage, seems pretty effective for the moment!

Hi,

are you sure that the P.murinus is a "girl"?

Looks like an adult male to me (size of legs, palps...).

Pretty sure (sexed by Tiffany @ ExoticPetsLV)...I'll post a couple pix of the underside when I get a sec, Looks like it's still a Juvie too though....

 

[CedrikG]

I dont see any tibial spur and any bulb. I got to say it is pretty leggy, but this is not a way of sexing at all.

 

[Sleepwalkah]

Ah yes... sorry, I forgot that Pterinochilus spec. have got tibial spurs... :8o

 

[SouthernStyle]

I ran it by our Local Exotic pet shop down here and the kat that took a look at it said that HE is DEFINATLY a SHE.... So it is a Female :worship:

 

[CedrikG]

Hi,

The people who work in pet shop usually know nothing to tarantula, and are unable to sex.

I dont know the person you talk about, but ...

[Arachnophilist]

[P. Novak]

That actually does look like a male very much so.

Get some pics of its palps and front legs and underside.

 

[CedrikG]

True, would'nt surprise me at all if it was a male.
