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!!

Haha they do have great poo aim :p

Rich I need to add a few more slings to my order and a bag of maricle grow lol.

I have been testing toxic waste + Ts and letting them bite me. Next ill work on my super villain costume.

Since I had the camera out, I decided to take some pics of my Ts. And I also took some clear shots of Siva's underside. See if you could tell if its a male or female. I know what Im thinkin, but I wanted ur guys opinion too.
Siva in new skin:

Sorry no full pics of Tigra(irminia) at this time....she always darts into her web tube burrow when I take the lid off her cubicle.
(shes waving hello tho!)

And have a guess at this one:

http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/...psb13ebab2.jpg

Yay pics!

I have never tried to sex them that way so no guess here.
Haha that's how I see my irminia about 90% of the time. Just some feet hanging out :p

You are building a nice collection :)

Errand time, may jazz it up with some t enclouser hunting lol

Perfect ill think bout one of them then for the red, should I put two vents in it? An the versi enclouser does it matter how vents are set up?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2

Haha those are awesome :p

2 vent should be good.
I also think mine is for model cats and not footballs. Still should work.

Some people put the vent on the side for arboreal but I place them on the top.

Sounds good to me! Haha model cats :)

Tell me about it. I just paid shipping for overnight from the other side of the state to me and it was $35 for a 1.5 lbs box plus a $5 box charge.

Man just tell them to ship fedex next time. :p

I read somewhere it was illegal to ship T's?

I'm dealing with a wholesaler that uses ups and they charge more if they have to use FedEx. Some people... I tell ya. Lol

Grrrr I just found out that I won't get off work until 4 on Wednesday. I've got a mandatory safety meeting from 8 to 4 after working 6pm to 6am Tuesday night. Then a 3 hour drive home. :( gotta love my job. No worries the wife will recieve the versicolors but no delivery or unboxing pics. You guys will have to settle for transfer pics. Lol

Damn that sucks.
