[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 124185, member: 26980"] I figured that, just can't understand why. The effects of OBT bites are already extremely well documented. For example, if one were to go into a strip club or biker bar and do that to one of the redheads therein, the chances of a negative reaction are also 100% !! In my opinion, there's probably better ways to observe defensive behavior. With the door closed, one could blow on the OBT with a small amount of compressed air through a ventilation hole. There are also green dot laser pointers commonly used to play with cats. If those were used within the visual field, it's highly probable that the spider would react. Many tarantulas can't see red very well so a red dot might not work. Once the observations are made, they need not ever be repeated. [MEDIA=youtube]pPG-wmNujZg[/MEDIA] Kinda like this!! :) [/QUOTE]
