Pretty cool huh? There is something about this spider... the females are very robust especially. It means business whether it is (very) poisonous or not! :D

Going by Australian beasties (from my limited scope), I'd reckon it has a potent venom, but who knows. Cool nonetheless...

They are very toxic...but I don't know how much.

When Steve Nunn first announced his export permit for tarantulas, I asked about Atrax Robusta and he mentioned mouse spiders.

Redbacks (I'm guessing australlian Latrodectus sp.), funnelwebs and mouse spiders will not ever be allowed out of the country alive with the sole exception of scientiffic research.
