Ballybricken 1 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 dwal ... Dangerous wild animals license ... something needed if you want to keep some of the more venomous T's and scorpions , also corbras, rattle snakes , crocs, gila monsters and the likes. If you get one you can go out buy a bloody elephant if you so wish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WHITEYrs4 29 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Just a quick question as i have no knowledge with tarantula's what so ever, do they bite and if so whats it like can it be life threating? I dont think there is a recorded fatality due to a tarantula bite to a human being! The only way I think this could happen if the person was allergic to the venom. As for biting us it all depends on what specie of tarantula! You get very aggressive ones, semi aggressive and non aggressive. Things like chile rose, curly hair and mexican red knee are all non aggressive BUT they can still bite you. Ones like the cobalt blue like the one I got in the picture (the blue one) this is a very aggressive specie and moves like lightening! I wouldnt even attempt to handle this one. Really people shouldnt handle these tarantulas but people do like myself, I think their bite could be quite serious as their fangs are as big as a dogs fangs and much sharper to the point than a dogs, their fangs are more like giant ferret teeth. Now I know you want one Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When you go to borneo dont forget to take some pics of creepie-crawlies Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good choice! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
