    Well, Rusty wanted to hear a story....
    I was breeding Pterinochilnus murinus ( African sunburst Baboon ) and I was transferring the newly hatched first instar slings into vials when I had a couple get away from me and vanish into my bedroom. Well, there was not much I could do about this so I just figured that they would probably find a corner of the room somewhere and set up shop and I forgot all about them.

    about two months later I was up late one night reading in bed when I felt a sudden sharp stabbing pain in my right arm and when I jumped up and looked to see what in the $#@ it was I saw a juvenile Usumbara baboon ( one of the escapees ) on my arm, furiously fanging me on my right tricep.... I was like "OWWW!!!!! you little #@$$#@@ !!! :evil: :evil:

    I am sorry to say that I reflexively slapped the spider and killed it but it hurt like heck...there were two small holes in my right tricep and it bled freely for about an hour and then ached for the next day or so. :roll:

    And this was from a small juvie Usumabara...the full grown ones can chomp you bad !!!!! :shock:
