Trapdoor q's

[taorchard1987]

Hi people.
On saturday i am going to pick up my first true spider (im more into T's) redapdoor, im not sure on the Family of it neither is the man in the shop, but it looks to me to be Gorgyrella sp but he said he THINKS it may be idiop sp, whats the difference?
Also i was wondering if there is any decent info anywhere on the web on a caresheet or could somebody post one?
Any ideas what would happen if i got bitten by this?

all as you need is deep compressed cocfibre!
make a slope within the tank out of it and dig a small hole on this slope and it will start burrowing of your hole!
that is all you need to do and the spider will do the rest (very easy to keep spiders) youll have no probz!! gorgyrellas are a great trapdoor for starters

as far as getting bit, they have pretty powerful venom from what i have read.. best to not find out for yourself

Trapdoors are not "true spiders" they are also mygalomorphs(sp?) just like T's (but different).
