i had to look it up and came across this. http://youtu.be/TaZ2v5zS-z8
made me drool. such a gorgeous creature! XD
Poecilotheria's have some of if not the most potent venom of all tarantulas so I would not personally hold one. Not worth the risk to me personally. I have seen people tempt fate and handle them though

I did know a really grumpy haplopelma lividum that would try to eat my face, hand, or any thing she could get close to. I don't know if that was typical, though, or just her.

Great pics
Thanks!!! Right now my most aggressive is my female Acanthoscurria geniculata (giant white knee). But my OBT will probably beat her for that title when it gets older. Right now it just runs and hides when disturbed. And that is pretty typical of a lividum They are beautiful T's though


And on a side note I just spent $70 on a microscope so I better see something with this miranda molt!!!!!!!!!
