I'm ordering on Monday, I had to wait cause a friend is ordering a scorpion and I have to wait for his money. I'm getting A. versicolor, P. murinus, and P. irminia.
Ok two questions...whats OBT stand for?? and I thought tarantulas were not venomous??
Orange Bitey Thing is the nickname. Its real name is like orange babboon tarantula which evolved from its latin name i think. Not positive on that though...
Yes T's are venomous. Thats how they kill their prey.
Does Tarantula venom not affect humans? or are its effects minimal for such large mammals?
Sure it does. But you are lumping several species together. Pokie venom is much more serious than, say an avic. And that's one of the reasons they are considered an advanced species to keep. Where as most avics are considered beginner species.
