Ok, so I was in a pet shop the other day getting crickets, and it just happens that I was there at the right time for Joe Redneck and his father(?), who were also looking around the shop, to have a wonderful discussion on arachnids.
Would you believe that everything we know about our bugs is wrong? It seems that the juvenile (4"?) T. blondi will "rip your hand off," and the P. imperator can kill you.
Needless to say, I was absolutely astounded at their level of expertise.
So, I figured I would post a question:
Is this kind of thing common? How common? What does one do when confronted with something like this. On the one hand, I could have said something to them at the risk of offending them, given their unfathomable amount of knowledge on the subject. I didn't, but wonder whether I should have any way?
Maybe we should start a billboard advertising campaign or something.
