ur #1 heavy/painful bite tarantula species?

[gladmar]

We know that no tarantula has been known to have a bite that is deadly to humans. While the bites of many species are known to be no worse than a wasp sting. But very painful and to produce intense spasms that may recur over a period of several days.
My #1 Painful bits tarantula is Hetesroscodra Maculata
What is ur #1 painful Bites Tarantula Species?

I think you will find a lot people will agree with you. I personally think Stromatopelma calceatum is worse, not from experience but research online, other hobbyists experiences, etc. After that I would say Haplopelmas and Poecilotherias are next on the list for worst venom. Since you didn't specify if this is only about venom, I can imagine that the "mechanical damage" of a larger species such as a Theraphosa Blondi or Lasiodora sp. would not end well considering the fang size on the spiders.

I personally have never been bit, (knock on wood) I was really nervous last night, had to take my haplopelma lividum out for enclosure maintenance. It was surprisingly "docile" for a haplopelma species, it threat postured, but did not bite at all. Now from my "text book" experience, NOT personal, I would say a T. blondi bite would be the worst, because of the size of the fangs. While a haplopelma bite will obviously make you more "sick" even a haplopelma wont give you PERMANENT damage. While I have read about life long injuries due to T. blondi bites.

P cambridgei doesn't have the most sickening venom, but it contain the same chemicals than in hot peppers and produces a burning sensation.
Add Selenocosmia and most Aussies to what you listed as well...

 

[Mojo Jojo]

Are you saying that P. cambridgei come preseasoned?

All kidding aside, I suppose you are talking about capsaicin? Where did you hear that?

I am very new and dare say at sum point i may get bitten but i am gonna stick to calm, docile noobie T. lol but i do know that these calm 1s can bite too

Because a T dont posses strong venom, does not make it a "noobie T", far from it actually, there are several NW T´s that demands much attention to thier needs in enclosures, and there are many NW T´s that come with a bad attitude aswell;-)

I was bit by my T. stirmi and sure it was painful and I didn't feel to hot for about 24hr's all and all it wasn't to bad lol just left with a nice lump at the bite site.

I guess it would depend where your bit exactly.

I believe he is referring to This article which was rather interesting. However it should be mentioned that it doesn't contain the same chemicals, only ones that can activate the same receptors.

Worst bite I've recieved was from an H. sp. 'Cameroon'. Wasn't too bad, but after feeling rather 'odd', I passed out on the couch.. for like 8 hours. Woke up fine.

Feeling "odd" then passing out ..... Sounds like fun actually. I think they sell a beverage that does the same thing.

That's what happens to me after smoking potent indica.

 

[KoriTamashii]

I've been lucky so far only to have been bitten twice (and of course, both were my own fault).

Thankfully, neither species was of very potent juice. A tiny hybrid someone sent me chomped me when I accidentally almost skwooshed it while rehousing it, and a GBB ran up the side of the case, onto my hand, and bit me when I spooked it whilst filling the water dish.

I've been tagged three times, but only two were 'serious'.
P. murinus 4'' female - knocked me down for about 12 hours.
P. ornata 5'' female - same effects as the obt, but about four times worse.
Third bite was from an A. metalica(1''sling)- wasn't even on par with a flea bite.
