There are a few that come to mind, so far my 5'' H. shmidti is fast, highstrung and doesn't hesitate to shoot out of her burrow and let us know she doesn't appreciate the intrusion.
i was just curious as to which T's of theirs people considered to be most intimidating. i'm just speaking of T's right now because i have the highest regard for my giant centi and scorp. i dont even put my hand in the enclosure versus any T i have which i at least feel free to move my hand nearby. well anywho, i find my A.seemani the most intimadating due to her totally shitty attitude. multiple strike per second and no threat display to speak of to warn of the fangs o'death!!!! other T's in the collection include 1.25" P.irminia, 4.5" G.rosea, 4" A.avic, and the gf's T's.

My six H. lividum will surely take the prize once they've grown up a lot. But I already treat them with a lot of respect, eventhough the largest ones only start to reach the 5cm mark.
I think on second place I actually have to put my G. roseaHe's so high strung it's unbelievable.
The vagans is the same - she'll come rushing if she thinks it's food but once she realizes it's not, she gives a threat pose. In the reverse she'll give food a threat pose first before she realizes what's going on... pretty confused my vagans I guess.
Eventhough my blondi hasn't kicked hairs one single time yet I treat her and her realm with utmost care and respect since I never ever want to experience the itching!

Right now, it is my new T. blondi. She has given a few quick bursts of speed, and hissed at as, but no threat display. Maybe when I get used to her I won't be so intimidated.
Otherwise, it keep an eye out on my C. paganus and my P. murinus - only because I know what they're capable of.

I have a lot of respect for several of my Ts, and I think/hope that's why I don't have a whole lot of problems. My two lividum juvies are pretty quiet, they retreat quickly when disturbed. My black earth tiger stays in her hole pretty much all the time. I have a pair of king baboon slings, but one is a hermit, the other is skittish but not aggressive.
I think the T that makes me the most nervy is my N. chromatus, oddly enough. Very touchy and has gone into a 'half-threat' pose a few times. It's about 3-4" at this point and I keep it in a rubbermaid container that's a little smaller than a shoebox. One time it got startled and ended hanging upside down on the bottom of its box.That's part of why I named him Diablo.

I had a mature male blondi that was the Spawn Of Satan. We called him SOS even. DANG he was evil!! I dreaded even going near his enclosure! He would rear up and stridulate and strike and squirt venom everywhere.....UGH It was hard on my heart! After moving him to the females tank to breed my hands would be shaking and my heart racing. Packing him up to go breed with other females was the most scary thing Ive ever done! He was SO STRONG! I was sure he would BREAK out of the giant deli cup and make an attempt on my life, he was swearing at me and flopping all over!! I was an emotional wreck when it was all said and done.....UGH. I dont miss him
Ive had 5 OBTs and not one came close to the orneryness that male blondi exhibited.

I forgot about that guy! My N. chromatus goes alternates between "hiding" and "charging" when entering his tank to clean up or change the water. More than one time, I've been surprised by the sudden appearance of an angry chromatus...as if out of nowhere.Originally Posted by Snakecharm

The Tower of terror! My H Lividium built this tower a couple of days
ago. She uses it to scrabble down on unsuspecting crickets
late at night. It also looks like she might be planning an escape.
Whatever her diabolical plan is, I'm sure I will find out sooner than
I want to ...Shudder!!!

Now that worries me, after all Mr T is a hero and part of the A team which fights injustice and stuff.Originally Posted by metallica
Well when you can find them that is.
