Message: <blockquote data-quote="Martin Oosthuysen" data-source="post: 32948" data-attributes="member: 1070"><p>Exactly what I explained,since my Lampropelma will attack not defend. Since they'd move forward,and not stand their ground only meaning defend or being defensive. Another good example of a tarantula that will actually advance to attack,Stromatopelma Calceatum. Something I've been arguing with a lot of people that say my T is defensive, it may start as a defensive behaviour but as soon as their is retaliation meaning a bite that turns into an attack meaning the aggressor has now switched. We could easily analyse this in a human fight,when I hit I'm aggressive but when I dodge or use a move to deflect an attack its defensive but as soon as I throw a punch or move to hurt the aggressor I'm now attacking and showing aggression. Sorry,but I have always loved debating this haha.</p></blockquote><p></p>
