T Bites

Sean · May 30, 2003

What T's have the worst bites or are rumored to have the worst bites??? just wondering i would think something like a blondi would have a nasty bite with the size of its fangs and all, but i know probably alot of the old world spieces have worse after effects...what overall have the worst bites???

hi

I belive the Poecilotheria genus has a very nasty bite and venom, but I was readin this thing in the forums about the Stomatopelma genus that scared me so um yeah.

Any of the Pokie genus are bad along with the Stromatopelma and Heteroscodra. A blondi would hurt alot just because the size of the fangs, the mechanical injury alone would be painful. Even without strong venom, stick two pencil leads into your hand...OUCH!!

i think if you were to bite a T it would taste very bad

LOL. Some folks in S. America and Asia would disagree with you there.

Here's an interesting report courtesy of VayuSon and Exothermae Magazine. In light of what's reported here I'd guess Stromato's are a good candidate.
