3) If it helped gain better keepers, would you support a licence to own any kind of invert..? Yes.

4) Approx what % of people in the UK that go and buy a T or scorp, are fully responsible with what they buy, and also read up on special requirements, etc..? I would say it could be as low as 5%

5) Why do T's in captivity sometimes appear to build a web, destroy it themselves, and rebuild it...? Could be anything; they don't like the temp in that area, webbed for a shed, rready for mating, more terrotory ect ect

6) If people keep freaking roaches as pets, and pay money for them, then my theory is that they would pay money for any random beastie! Name something not normally for sale, that you could start punting online Larger variety of ants

7) Bitten by a large pokie, bitten by a large and aggressive pede, or stung by a Japanese hornet, which one of the three would you most like to avoid.... Pokie

As someone with your interest, which country would you like to live in for a time, to see all the animals that you have, in their natural environment..? Australia for snakes, south America for inverts.

9) Do you think that keeping inverts actually helps the animal, in any sense..? Yes, captive breeding help keep their numbers up.

10) What is the longest that you have left your collection unattended..? As in number of days, etc...? only 2 days for inverts, and only 1 for reps.
There is my answers.

1) What is the most serious bite, if any that you have had from one of your collection...? I now have 20 T's both new and old world, most are adults. At some point I have handled every one. None of them have ever attempted to bite me. (Famous last words eh ?)

2) Do you think the general price for T's is too dear, too cheap, or about right...? The more expensive the better for any pet/creature imho. Then it 'may' get a better chance of being looked after.

3) If it helped gain better keepers, would you support a licence to own any kind of invert..? Definately. Or any other kind of pet / creature. Plus ALL shops should have to earn a licence, based on knowlege and facilities.

4) Approx what % of people in the UK that go and buy a T or scorp, are fully responsible with what they buy, and also read up on special requirements, etc..? For the folks who frequent these type of forums, id say 70%. General public out there....... 25% although access to the internet must have improved the situation in recent years.

5) Why do T's in captivity sometimes appear to build a web, destroy it themselves, and rebuild it...? Ha Ha. Ive no idea. I can see ALL my T's at one time and I watch them for many hours (Saddo). They do some really odd things that i'd love to know the meaning of. Who knows ? ? ?

6) If people keep freaking roaches as pets, and pay money for them, then my theory is that they would pay money for any random beastie! Name something not normally for sale, that you could start punting online
Ant colonies.

7) Bitten by a large pokie, bitten by a large and aggressive pede, or stung by a Japanese hornet, which one of the three would you most like to avoid.... All of them but i think the least likely to bite, would be the Pokie.

As someone with your interest, which country would you like to live in for a time, to see all the animals that you have, in their natural environment..? Thailand or Venezuala or Costa Rica or the Amazon or Mexico or Sri Laka or Mombassa or Sydney or . . . . . . . .

9) Do you think that keeping inverts actually helps the animal, in any sense..? Depends how you keep them. Some keepers go to great lengths to provide decent quality, well decorated tanks and vivs. But i dont think ice cream or cereal tubs are doing the spiders any favours.

10) What is the longest that you have left your collection unattended..? As in number of days, etc...? 2 days. Any longer than that and I get a SPIDERSITTER !
