Message: <blockquote data-quote="DustyD" data-source="post: 209409" data-attributes="member: 36911">How long does it take for new world T venom to incapacitate prey?Earlier today I fed my G. porteri a medium to large roach and went down to dinner. I came back a half hour later and my T was still standing tall holding a still moving/ flailing roach. I know that roaches can remain twitching their legs for days after being incapacitated by a human, but I thought venom might do the trick, assuming my spider did envenom it.[ATTACH=full]63827[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
