The threat posture thread
Post up your favorite threat postures your T's have given you. If you have other types of Inverts like scorpions, post those too. I'll start it off:
Boehmei. I've posted it already, but why not again:

Versi that threw one up the other day at my wife:

Much better than the Boehmei. The fangs are spread a little and everything.

Oy vey! I'm working hard to get over my queasiness about spiders, but even just pictures of those postures give me the heebie jeebies! :oops: Very impressive photos, though!

I'm the same way with a snake's threat posture. :oops:
My husband thinks I'm crazy. "You're afraid of a little bug, but you're not afraid of snakes?!?" :D

lol! Our Versi has tagged the paintbrush and the needle nose pliers. Without warning. The threat posture was the first time we were able to get a good look at her underside. It's looking very "girly".
Hope you do get some pics. They are cool to look at.

Yup! :gj:
I'm afraid of "little bugs" too. I avoid any contact with my spiders at all cost. Yes, I've held them before, just so I could say I have. Thats good enough for me. I'll gladly take my chances with an extremely ticked off 7ft carpet python or amazon tree boa before I'll play with a 2" G. rosea or Avic.

Haha I'm the same way. I'm more than willing to pick up a mad ATB before I even think about spiders.
