This is a continuation of the "7in. H. gigas bite"
Steve's review was on this site a while back but it may have been removed. It got pretty intense with a lot of back and forth he said she said.
I was going to buy some t's from Steve a few months ago and was about to send him some $$$ but when I saw the review and asked him about it. He that some t's had dies in shipping and that's what started the bad review. I asked him why he thought the t's had died and he said that he has had t's die when he shipped almost every time. I have a good reputation told him to check it out om this site and told him what he was doing wrong in his shipping practices. There was no way I wanted to pay up-front to someone who has many problems with shipping so I asked him to ship first he decided not to so we parted ways.
I believe Steve does have t's because I have seen him post a males needed for 50/50. I'm not picking on a person for no reason but either way he is bad for the tarantula community. If he is telling the truth about the bites, it send a bad message to everyone who hears about it. The doctors, his parents, the people on this site everyone he tells, everyone his parents tell and the story will continue to spread. I can tell you that being bitten twice in a short period by known defensive tarantulas is due to plain stupidity and being irresponsible. It does not really matter if the story is true or not, it still generates unneeded fear and adds negatively to the myths of tarantulas.This can eventually lead to problems for all of us. If he is lying the same thing happen so a smaller scale. There are very few laws regulating our hobby. Let's keep it this way.
