Well that was cool ;D.
I had the nightshift and forgot my Cell at home, my gf was very tired and feel asleep on the couch, when she woke up she saw my petspider Nina a Mexican redknee (completely harmless) happily wandering on the wall enjoying her new found freedom.
My GF is has nothing against spiders, but this was the absolute limit for her, especially since she could not call me.
So I came home and missed the note on my GF wrote me NOT to open the living room door, so I walked in the apartment, and my GF started screaming: DONT OPEN THE FRIGGEN DOOR TO THE LIVINGROOM NINA IS OUT !!!! ;D
So I walked in and saw her on the wall took some pictures and put her in a smaller plastic tank were she will stay until I have the bigger one fixed.
As you can see from the attached pictures, this is a fishtank and there are 2 holes on the back and I have was not carfull enough to block access to the outside world :) and she squeezed through.
-
That is SICK dude!
Would she bite someone you think?
:o
-
She is pretty harmless, like most spiders of that size (with exceptions of course).
She was a little bit pissed off when I took her down and kicked hairs at me, but in general she would avoid anything that shows to be bigger than her and is obviously not worth hunting for.
Ill bet you she was just looking around if I was hiding some crickets from her, in fact she probably was hungry and decided its time to hunt down a few crickets and anything that is unfortunate enough crossing her way ;D

i would seriously cry if that fucker was in my house!
It amazing really something of that size can stay on a wall like that, how the fuck do they do it?

They can climb so well, if you look very close to their feet you can see that they have small hooks, (http://static.flickr.com/45/140691619_25aa18e7ef_t.jpg) <---------- These are the sex not used to hang on the wall but they are similar just smaller much smaller.
They are seriously harmless and very different to the common spiders you can see on a daily basis, these are basically Dinosaurs and have (not like any other spiders) evolved over millions of years, that's why they are so big (one of the reasons)...
They also have character, I'm serious, none of them are are the same, some are chilled and don't mind even been picked up on the side and turned around to sex them, others freak out and bite you, some others are in the middle and can have a bad day... It's hard to understand for somebody who has never seen them or lived with them, but they are not like spiders... at least not like their smaller cousins.

Dont be too surprised if your spider dies in the next little while; they are very sensitive to stress and being in the open, when they have been born and raised in a cage, is very stressful experience for them.
uh I like to disagree with you here:
First I have spiders for like 9 years, this particular one for the past 5 years, I raised her from a spiderling to the size she is.
Spiders don't just die, and they are not sensitive to stress, and lol deffiantly not beeing in the open ::).
been born and raised in a cage, is very stressful experience for them
Sorry to say but you seriously have no idea what you are talking about :(
yes they don't like to be touched and it is stress for them, but they don't just die, thats the whole secret why spiders are still around, they are one of the toughest animals around, did you know you can take a T put her in a Tank put her under your bed and leave her there for 1/2 year (if she has enough water) she will be fine.
Anyways:
For some Nina may seem big, but watch this beauty, it's a Teraposa Blondi also know as Goliath or simply Blondi, these are the biggest spiders around, they are relativly harmless only bite if they absolutly have to or if you piss them off, they have a tendecy to overeat and are than of course in danger (when falling) to seriously hurt themself, they have also nasty litte hairs on their back and if you hold them you will have an itch for a couple of days... they can also hiss ;) what is strange the first time you hear it.
I held one of these babys on my hand and she decided for what ever reason to run up my shoulder and sat on my back, that was the first time I was close loosing my nerves, she was so heavy you can acctually feel her through your T-Shirt.

I hate spiders, at least the smaller ones. The bigger ones, like posted above, I don't mind, but I still get creeped out when I'm in the same room as them. Cage or not. And no, I wouldn't hold one of those things unless I was either on "Fear Factor" or had no other choice!
-
Awesome spider... the colors are great. I've never see one as big as that goliath :o
My first (and last) tarantula was a chilean rose hair. Absolutley harmless and easy to keep.
You're dead right about them being robust.. My baby was from somewhere in the tropics but survived a freezing Tokyo winter and three weeks without food while I went on holidays!!
Here are a couple of pics from when she molted..
-
So what is the most aggressive Spider then?
Is there not a Bird eating Spider that actively seeks a conflict or is that BS?

The most aggressive Spider is the Mustard... a friend of mind has one and has written the following on his webpage....
This is the most aggressive tarantula I ever owned. I consider this to be the Pit Bull of tarantulas. It would frequently throw itself against the side of its tank when it detected my presence and made a very distinct hissing noise (hence I gave it the name of Hissing Sid). Should most definitely NOT be handled. Not for the beginner! :o :o :o
AWESOME!!!!!!

why would anyone want one of those?
What would it do if it got at you?

Tag you a couple of times, and move back, don't forget most T's have a venom not stronger than a bee or wasp (Pokies, who life in the trees of Pakistan and India have sometimes a little stronger venom), it's the fangs that hurt like a mother... I know I have been tagged a couple of times, it's like being electrocuted.
-
yo have u ever gotton them hairs in your eyes or nose?
supposed to hurt quite a bit..
-
yeah don't giant tarantula's spray you with those fucking hairs.
Oh god this gives me the creeps but I cannot stop talking about it!!! :P
So as far as venom goes which species is the worst, a Funnel web? Have you ever held one?

Yes the hairs are irritating but nothing to really worry about.
Sydney funnel web uhhh...dude you cannot hold them, these are the most aggressive and most venouus spiders on this planet, you could die from a bite by a female Funnelweb in less than 15 min. (they are not in the same family as the Tarantulas)
And here is another cool thing about them: They bite and don't let go ;D they are so aggressive they tag you and just keep on biting and pumping venom in you ;D
Here are some pictures... if you ever come across a large spider and she stands like this, keep away, this is Defcon 1, you touch any spider that does this posture and you get bitten ;D

mate if i see any spider even if its minding its own business let alone up on its hind legs, i'm fucking out of the city the fucker its in before you can say arachnophobic!!!!

Dude The Sydney Funnel Web Female is as big as a Tarantula (a little smaller) but you seriousy don't need a magnifying glass... more like a sledgehammer.
-
spiders scare the crap out of me. if i saw that in my house ..........yes i would freak :'(
-
You know I don't know what is worse this big ass thing or the little one. I mean at least I can see this one. The one that bit me is about the size of a dime or so. I have held tarantulas before. They are pretty harmless. I would hate to get bit by one though. They got fangs and shit. The funnel spider in Australia is the real bad boy though

i once blew one by accident outside the principals office..
part of one window blew in ..well later as i stood there waiting to be caned..i saw bits n pieces of glass on his desk..

<sdit..not to distract from the thread..but the actual intention of that firecracker ws to put it under a steel bucket to see how high it'd make the bucket go>

The last time I went back to my native country I saw several big spiders living in my house. They were harmless and kept the rooms free of other pests. Also they were pretty big, some almost as big as my palm. They weren't Tarantula because they were pretty skinny and didn't have much hair.
Bottom line is that spiders scare the fuck outta me, but they're animals I have a lot of respect for.
-
Ornamental Tarantula's are my fave. Good look, fast, and quite aggressive :)

So you was born in Pakistan?
-

Nope, I'm not Pakistani. I was born in Queens NY, but I've visited Bangladesh several times, each time staying a few months. I consider Bangladesh and West Bengal my native homeland, as it is my place of origin. I'm not like you. Aren't your parents from Norway or something? Don't you consider yourself Norwegian?

No, native relates to your place of birth. My heritage is Norwegian, but I am a native of England.

Well, it's same way with me, but to me native has always meant my ethnic background/heritage. I do consider the US my home though, best fucking country in the world.

My cousin had a big tarantula. It was a pretty cool spider I used to hold it and it never tried to bite or anything. He cleaned out itscage one time and it died the next day. I guess he didnt get all of the cleaning stuff out. I have never had one (my fiance hates them) but I have had a couple of lizards my last was a Nile Monitor That was a mean fucker she hissed at all of my friends and would only let me touch her. The power went out here due to an ice storm and she got too cold for to long and died.

They are some form of Sandspiders, they are actually not that big, if you look closely at that picture you can see that it is an closeup (see the hand on the top) They are locked into a fight, mildly venous it at all and harmless.
-

Thank you, and Nina says thank you too ;)
Nina is awesome pretty, she molted a couple of month ago and the colors still look very vibrant, I don't touch her because If I do she kicks hair at me and the result is a ugly bald patch on the back of her abdomen.

There's a few vids of them eating lizards on youtube.
The thing with camel spiders is that they are so fucking alien looking! That's what freaks people out.

HOLY SHIT STARK.... BADASS!!!
Brachypelma smithi
Mexican Redknee Tarantulas are hardy, docile, long living and make great pet tarantulas for the beginner or advanced spider keeper. They are native to the scrublands and deserts of the pacific side of Mexico. They are terrestrial and found near natural cover like cacti, bushes, logs, rocky areas, and other natural debris.
Maximum size: 5”-6” :o
Life span: Up to 25 years. :o 25 years!!!!
Lighting: Specialized reptile lights for viewing nocturnal animals would be a good choice. Avoid basking type lighting, as tarantulas do not normally appreciate the light or the added heat they produce.
Temperature range: Day 70° to 90° F
Food: Crickets and an occasional pinkie mouse.
Water: A shallow, wide container of clean water should always be available.
Housing/Habitat: Their natural habitat can be simulated with a 5 to 10 gallon aquarium. The bottom of the aquarium should be covered with 3 to 5 inches of vermiculite, potting soil, peat moss, or sand. The substrate needs to be deep enough to facilitate burrowing and it is important to provide hiding places.

coool heh? ;D
Only females can life that long, keep in mind that every time they molt there is a risk that some of the old skin still is attached to the body and she will die of complications.
I lost already one spider like this, but the older they get the less they molt, and the older they get the more calm they get (usually) it's like when they get to their maximum size and age.... what are they afraid off? Nothing ;D

I have seen A fully grown T fight a mouse, and guess who won... the stupid mouse ran around even sniffing at the T's legs, she just waited for the right moment and WHAAAAMMM, a Tarantula's venom is very effective regarding any critter like a mouse rats and so forth.
It does sweet fuck all to a human unless you are allergic to it, but it kills a mouse in a matter of minutes, still it's very risky to feed a life mouse since they can keep up a good fight and maybe even hurt a Tarantula.

I used to own a African Emperor Scorpion (my brother let it die while I was away for a few months). They also have venom very similar to bees but it is stronger and more painful then being stung by a bee, I was never stung myself while handling it but then again I always held it by the 'tail'. I had a few dreams in which my scorpion escaped but it never happened for real which is good cause my room was a wreck and I would have had trouble finding it without getting stung. Coolest thing about it though was that it glows under blacklights so when I had friends over to party I would play with my bright greenish scorpion.
This is very similar to what my scorpion looked like

Yeah I had one just like that as well, they are more complicted to keep than spiders.

Yes I don't think mine liked the big stereo I had in my room since they rely allot on feeling vibrations to catch prey. I am surprised I was able to keep it alive for the year or so I had it, I never really brought it food but would just go outside and catch crickets myself.
