Which T scares you the most?

[AfterTheAsylum]

Well, my Stromatopelma calceatum is a devil, but it doesn't come out attacking. It doesn't bother me. It escaped once and ran on my arm, but it didn't try anything...phew. The scariest T for me has got to be my female Citharischius crawshayi. I remember taking her out at delivery to put her in her new home. Oh my god did that suck. Mind you I have a good amount of aggressive Ts... Poekies, S. calceatum, H. maculata, Haplopelmas, etc. The reigning king or terror is the King Baboon (no pun intended...well, maybe a little). Shouldn't these be called the Queen Baboon? Anyway, about 20 strikes later, I evaded enough to get her in her cage. Those were some terrifying 5 seconds. I dred... DRED... changing her substrate. Imagine a grenade that was filled with broken glass inside your mouth that was to detonate in 5 seconds. This is about the terror level you have with a King 5 yards away from you.

If I saw a 10 foot OBT I think I would pee my pants :wall:

If I saw a 10 foot OBT I think I would actually implode

My Heteroscodra Maculata causes me concern mainy because of her ability to camouflage herself. She seems to appear out of nowhere.

I had a mature male blondi that was the Spawn Of Satan. We called him SOS even. .

I second the T. blondi from what I have kept so far! I handled it when it was around 3" I hope I have the nerver later!!

Adult pokies. I dont mind the smaller ones but the 6"+ ones seriously freak me out. Lol

So far, an obt was by far the meanest or should I say most defensive T I have had. It was nuts and very quick. It would flop all over the tank and lay on its back with its fangs out. Will not get another.

 

[apidaeman]

Stents birdeater the only one I have personally seen was 2.5", it was enough to convince me I don't want one. Might be different if their venom wasn't so potent.
I sure would hate to see how it acts when it's all grown up .

I have alot of T's this one is a very dangerous T. Honestly even the most advanced T keepers should really think long and hard before getting one.

I have an H. mac and an H. lividum, but they are still pretty small. My Chilobrachys huahini is definitely intimidating. She's prone to sudden, lightning fast charges and only sometimes warns with a threat display. she's the worst combination of aggressive and unpredictable.

 

[hairmetalspider]

My other half when he say's NO MORE T's!!!!!

I think the time has comes to leave him

lol

 

[Pociemon]

I would have to say my Haplopelma Huwenum female is a feisty girl aswell as my female apophysis who is big and allways angry But i dont fear any of my pets, i just give them proper respect.

Thus is the key to successful T keeping, well said Thomas.:clap:

 

[Taylor]

I "respect" my OBT the most. my blondi is a baby campared. My P. cancerides puts up a fight but still doesnt come close.

I hope so;-)

But i would never dream of buying any kind of animal if i feel afraid of it. Just being aware of the species of T i am dealing with and act accordingly the way i do.

But i do have one kind of animals i REALLY HATE... roaches aaaargh, i really dislike them and they are only here because of my T´s need good food I have handled many of my T´s, but i NEVER touch these little ugly beasts:?

 

[GailC]

i was just curious as to which T's of theirs people considered to be most intimidating

Which ever one tries to tag me during maintenance, usually my genic or rosie

 

[smof]

They are smaller than my hand and trapped in boxes. Kind of hard to be scared of any of them.

 

[Sammie]

I guess it's my Nhandu cromatus, she even tryes to attack the water when i moisture her enclosure

 

[Veneficus]

I have a few--my most aggressive ones are all females, lol: 8" L. parahybana, 6" P. cancerides, and 6" P. nigricolor. None of these girls will even let me give them water without trying to attack. My husband and I call my L. parahybana girl, 'the face hugger,' in reference to the movie, Alien.

 

[Scorpendra]

i can't say i'm scared of any T, but i think i'd be a little unnerved by one of them 13-inch T. blondis i'm always hearing about everywhere except here.

as for which of mine is the most intimidating, my P. cancerides.
