I found a fairly big Tegenaria crawling across my wall a week or two ago and found myself asking which was better out of trues and tarantulas. Chucked it in with an L. para of equal legspan....




.... L. para f**ked the true up big time

Live around the bedfordshire/cambridgeshire area? got a rat/rabbit/pidgeon/squirrel problem? send me a PM.

Saint George killed the last dragon, and he was called a hero for it. I've never seen a dragon, and I wish he would have left at least one. Saint Patrick made a name for himself by running the snakes out of Ireland, leaving the place vulnerable to rodent infestation. This business of making saints out of men who exterminate their fellow creatures has got to stop. All I'm saying is, it's starting to get a little lonely up here at the top of the food chain.

The only true spids worth keeping,as far as I am concerned are the not so safe kind.
You also forget about Mygalomorphae which include some cracking spids.....my fav. being M.gigas which I have kept myself and can vouch for 100% as being an excellent spid .....as well as being not so safe.

Yeah i've kept a few of these M. gigas and i have to say that there amazing spiders! But then again i love all Macrothele sp. It's hard to say which of the two these would come under, i would think of them as true spiders....

If i chucked an L.para in with one of my phoneutria AF bet the outcome would be vastly different (not that i would ever even contemplate this...words just fail me...)

Muppet...

They are mygalomorph spiders...which means their fangs work in a downward direction rather than from the side.

Same as T's fangs work.
