Just because its the most "pet rock" doesn't make it any different from a P. cambridgei or P. murinus or H. lividum. All have the potential to sink fangs 1/2" into your body, but that's not the worst. If ever your tarantula was to get freaked and bolted off your hand to a 3' fall its almost assuredly a dead tarantula. The abdomen will rupture and not only would there be a gooey mess but you would either have to put your pet out of its misery or watch it die over a couple of hours. Just not worth it IMO</p></blockquote><p></p>
