Do you have any theraphosas? Got a friend who wants to sell me a female and I'm toying with the idea. I'm not crazy about display pets I can never handle but I understand these to be easily aggravated with beastly hairs.

I've got about 70 T's, mostly old world stuff like Pokies. You get two choices with T's, new worlds with urticating hairs but less painful bites, or old world with no hairs but very painful bites. I choose no hair LOL.

It really depends on the species and the T, some new world stuff like Avicularia are really docile and can't flick hairs.

OMG, I'd steer clear of the T. blondi's, they have wicked hairs

Never got bitten but she haired the palm of my hand pretty bad. I'm told that the bite isn't bad compared to other things, and you shouldn't worry. I def don't want to get haired again though.

i got haired a few time from my blondi back in the day, i didnt really notice anything, i wonder why? can some people be immune to it or somthing?

The hairs cause an allergic reaction so guess some people will react more violently than others.

She is stunning! I love pokies...I want to get one but convincing the fiance to let me get another T is tough. He is not a fan of them.

I thought I was just going to be terrified with them in the house, but they are growing on me fast somehow. It's a love/fear/respect weird relationship I have with them. I just hope when I get tagged by one (it's bound to happen at some point) that I am not allergic, but I have my epi-pen handy.

Love to see more pics of your collection sometime :) I'm gonna browse this forum when I get a moment to see if you have more in here.
