    I thought it was. And if it wasn't, then screw that, i'm getting a P. regalis once i get used to the obt! :D

    I'm a pretty big guy, so irregardless of the potency, i don't think it'd effect me as bad as most. :p

    The bite reports I read of OBTs was similar to bad hognose reactions.

    Looks like some of the worse are cramping for a few days, vomiting, swelling and pain.

    Seems like Poeci is worse but I'm guessing more people have them.

    No matter what I don't want to find out :p

    Seeing as though i usually have to take like double the dose of any sorta meds (allergy meds, tylenol, ibuprofen, Benadryl etc.) to have them take effect, i feel like the venom would have the same effect. Or, in this case, lack there of.

    Sounds like a good excuse to call out of work! I've only done it once or twice. Telling them i got nailed by a big orange tarantula would be funny haha.

    Like my bigger girl, she never leaves her bark hide.

    When feeding do you just pull the big part off an drop the roach on to the floor if their chilling up on top like that?

    Just go get one now you big Nancy! Haha j/k

    P. Regalis was one of the first slings I bought. I transferred them the day I brought them home and again today. Granted they were .75" when I got them and only about 1.5" now but no where as bad as I thought it would be. They were hanging out on there bark. I used 12" stats picked up the bark. Put it in the new enclosure and chased it off the bark. Now the one did want to fight with the transfer stick but other than that it went smooth. Now we just gotta wait til they are about 6" and see if they are still that easy. Lol

    Lol at six inches the fight with the transfer stick will seem a little more equal sided to them.
