......haha yeah sometimes they do, especially the little one(size of 50c). I try not to handle them to much, if at all. People just dont realize how fragile they really are. Its said that if they fall from a height thats triple their body height, its fatal for them. That Species 4 is fairly docile until shes spooked and then its game on......not keen on her fangs piercing my skin.....theyre about 20mm long so its a fair chance theyll hit bone if im bitten on the hand. And she aint one for interaction either
The little T's are the ones you have to watch.....recently got a male and female Goliath......the male darted across the island bench top in 1 second.....the bench top is about 2.4m long. The only thing that saved it, was me waiting for it to do the runner!!! Im a master at the chinese tub and just knew he was gonna do the dash!!!
The only one in my collection that requires a lock on its tank is my Pholgius PQ113......truly a freakin nut bag in every sense!!! Seriously, walk in the room and if its out of its hole, its up on its hind legs ready to strike. Im sure the previous owner mistreated the beautiful creature resulting in its violent temperament. Its quite stunning to look at, has the most amazing smokey blue/gray colouring!! This is her!!

@ Agro ..... have you got any inverts mate? Also have a couple of scorpions too.....Urodacus Flinders black rock and a Urodacus Flinders Range...their pretty cool. Feeding time is always pretty cool to watch

@ Rico & hainzy ... i take that as a compliment!! Scott Ian has the most crushing guitar tone!! But truth be told, i started growing the beard the day Dimebag Darrell died...in honour of him. Every year, me and a few mates get together and have a few 'black tooth' drinks and listen to Pantera and Damageplan! Still saddens me greatly .... met him once and was the nicest/coolest guy ive ever met..bar none!! What an absolute tragedy :(
Sometimes when we do gigs we break out the Dimebag guitars and play a Pantera track or two...the crowd loves it!!
