Tarantulas and Spiders

From some of the bite reports I would be more worried about some of the Ts we keep :p

You have to think about how rare a Recluse bite is. Most people would't even feel the tiny fangs. For the ones who do see a spider, can they ID a Recluse?
I think the myths and hype of the Recluse are just as bad as when you see a BP on TV and they have hissing sounds effects.
Not saying its all false, I'm not willing to be a test subject to spider venom. But I bet its blown way over the top just as our snake buddies are in some circles.

Hell, even a harmless snake bite can lead to major infection in some cases.

I'm guessing most Widow and Recluse bites are less painful than a Poeci bite or a H. lividum that would up your arm and have about 10 holes in you before you knew it had escaped. :o

Carlson has first aid training so I think he should be the test subject :)

Lol....go Nicky! I nominate ya buddy! :p

Yea he can provide me with medical aid anyyyyy time. Ignore the elevated heart rate!

Haha I volunteer to provide medical attention to anyone who wants to be a test subject :) Ive been told I'm very caring and good at what I do. As long as nothing shinny is around ill fix you up ;) lol

Haha mouth to mouth is a no no. People spit/throw up some gross things when your doin that. I use a face mask with a one way by pass. Nice air tight seal, my face is bout six inches from theirs and it doesn't get too weird. But weird factor isnt really there when you gotta do cpr

Yea I hate the fact they sprayed the mosquitos and moths seem like they have doubled in numbers already but I kinda understand why they did it. Just had a huge storm and a ton of rain kinda hope it washed away the spray lol

They will come back in force leading their 8 foot tall counter parts in an all out battle for rule of your building. I'd prepare for that if I was you

Lmao! Ill keep an eye out for that! I work on an oil rig. I could just see an 8 foot spider running around on my derrick. Sadly not allowed to bring my Mossberg on location for just such an event :( ill have to see about making a sling shot outta what ever spare rig parts I've got laying around lol

By a bunch of baby versicolors from Rich, n feed em Miracle Gro for Ts......once they get about 15ft in legspan, (which is overnight, btw) you can teach them how to sling giant wads of toxic poo!!
