Message: <blockquote data-quote="Martin Oosthuysen" data-source="post: 32880" data-attributes="member: 1070">HelloI have a female and male,not defensive but aggressive. Since defensive would mean standing it's ground,whereas mine would actually come forward to strike that's an attack and aggressive behaviour. As for venom potency,the Lampropelma Sp. Borneo black which is family,exhibited the same results as a Stromatopelma Calceatums bite meaning the after effects. So I would guess that rates higher than a pokie,but again no worry since you aren't going to hold it. I have to add,the Sp. Borneo Black bite reports can be Googled under orange fringed tarantula it also changed genus to Lampropelma used to be in another genus.</blockquote>
