Aphonopelma seemanni (Costa Rican Striped Knee or Zebra)

[Shane]

I was transferring my spider to a new enclosure and she gave me a little poke. She is always a little skittish when handled which is why she is left alone except for circumstances such as this. She was on the back of my hand and when I set my hand down in her new home, she jabbed me with a fang. Just one puncture mark and a bit of burning, then some numbness. It wasn't too bad, but I'm glad I didn't get hit with both fangs or a full shot of venom... oh that silly little girl!

Ouch!!! Lucky for you the NW Ts aren't as venomous a the OW ones.

Sounds almost like she may have felt like she was falling a might have used a fang for support. I know they use them sometimes in cases of instability.

It's 2023 and I'm just reading this and I'm thinking about the fact I've never handled my boy. I'm impressed that you handle yours at all. And because he is so good with me, I'm assuming he wouldn't give me the full Monty either. I'm glad she just gave you a little. Love, kiss
