Awesome mate. Though I thought males were better to have with the Aussies?

Did you get any photos? I wouldn't mind seeing sexing photos on Aussie Ts

males are just harder to come by but without a female males are useless, prefer to have a few fems and buy or loan a male. Couldnt get pics, the container i had her in reflected the flash to much

i've been considering this species. got any pictures?

the only thing holding me back is their venom potency, since i have 5 cats and a dog.

Just don't let it out. There's no need for an Aussie T to be out of its enclosure, so your pets will be fine.

Well if this one escapes, you will be down one cat hahaha

Don't let the fear of them getting out keep you from keeping them. I have a cat, and a number of Ts. You can't exactly handle Aussie Ts so it shouldn't be a worry. Go for it!

Would a t bite harm a cat? I know Funnelwebs are harmless to dogs.

I think there has been some documentation of Australian theraphosids causing canine deaths. Don't have any references but I'll see what I can find.

EDIT: Might take a while...like a day or two.

EDIT #2: Bites by spiders of the family Theraphosidae in humans and canines

Yeah mate, I've heard (only heard, mind you) that Aussie Ts aren't the best for dogs and cats..

Might be one for the ATA?
