Do your Ts scare you??

Just curious if anyone is frightened by their Ts? I was an arachnophobic before we got Ts. I guess I am still, but I love watching them. We have owned a few species now, but I am a strict look at only person, no handling. My wife will handle, but not I :).

I am flat out fascinated by my Ts and can't wait to get a few more species that I've been looking at. I love watching them ambush their prey, making webs, even just chilling :). The thought of them crawling on my hands/arms creeps me the frock out! Haha.

I guess being afraid also commands respect of the animal. I am very cautious with my Ts, probably more so being fearful. I am not afraid to open their enclosure, feed them, or transfer them (with a little help from a long stick and other container). I just can't have them on me :D. Better for them I guess...

I'm not afraid of my Ts; I am, however, afraid of being bitten. I am also a look only person, but that is more for the Ts safety.

Do you have any pics of your Ts?

Being bit would suck for sure, but that's not what scares me. I don't even know if I could call it being scared. It's more of the heeby geebies at the thought of them crawling on me.

I have owned OBTs, a pink toe, P. Regalis, and a P. Ornata. I am looking at getting a Metallica, a balfouri, and a GBB. My wife would really like a versicolor too. I don't have pics of my current Ts because they are slings and hard to get on camera :). But I do have a pic of my Regalis and OBT that we traded a while back:)

I feel the same way! Im not scared of them really but i do not like them on me it just feels creepy haha but like you I love everything they do an how they look I don't have one now but thinking bout getting a obt

I know what you mean about trying to take a pic of slings. It's dang near impossible to get a good pic, especially when the only camera you have is an iPhone lol.

Oh Doolittle you will have an T or 10 sooner or later. I'll do everything I can to convince you... Lol

Nah im the same way. I think theyre really cool and always stop to look at them at shows but i wouldnt ever want to hold one. I find the web making and feeding fascinating to watch though!

Nah, don't they eat crickets? I'm done with lizards and cricket eating things. Hubby has his anoles and they are a pain. And honestly I have zero interest in spiders, other than I have seen a few T's that look cool.

You can feed them roaches which are a million times better than crickets. My friend breeds dubia for his leos. Theyre cool, about as cool as a feeder insect can get lol. Simple_Man breeds his own dubias, he has posted vids of his setup. Its really simple and they breed a lot. You may even be able to feed the anoles roaches too.
