Default P. regalis bite

I got bit by a T for the first time since I started collecting them. It was by a P. regalis, I was VERY lucky as it was a dry bite (thank god, as I'm not sure how I would react due to my epilepsy). It hurt but nothing to write home about. The b*****d just ran at me while I was spraying her.

'ran at me while i was spraying her'
Never trust a female, you never know what they'll do.

i own one aswell and witnessed the speed the moment i got mine home,i was putting it in a bigger tank and it shot out the old one and onto the side of it in the blink of an eye,i knew they were fast but jesus i didnt realise actually how quick til it showed me lol.its safe to say that my hands do not enter that tank what so ever maintenance is done with a pair of 12" tweezers.ive also got a thing for planting plants in fish tanks that you press a button on and it grabs stuff which is really useful.im having some custom tanks built for them which are aboreal and im not looking forward to rehousing it again.under the cork bark its dug a little retreat out and webbed it up,quite strange really considering they are aboreal
