Meanest T that you own?

[rapidfire]

For me its my Cyriopagopus minax. When I bought this T the shop owner says to me “this is a mean spider” and I reply “Im familiar with the Thailand Black” and he says “no this spider in particular”. He wasn't kidding my first feeding I opened the enclosure and it bypassed the roach and came right after me and my tongs.

Lucky I guess. I don't have a mean spider. some of my collection can have bad reputations including: Cobalt blue, 6 Pokies, OBT, P. cancerides, O. aurotibialis, and every Psalmopeus sps. Fast--yes, but nary a threat pose.

Grammostola rosea the most fierce and moody spider in the hobby .

Whatever the Vietnamese Earth tiger is? That is mean T.

For me it's my C. Sp electric blue. Not only fast and aggressive but has "attack holes" everywhere! And one in particular right next to the door to the enclosure. Scares the **** out of me every time she pops out of there!

My AF E. campestratus is easily my most defensive, unpacking her was a nightmare and after the molt recently she still has the worst mood swings.

Very unusual, Pan. Just goes to show....even amongst gentle species, there are individuals who break the mold.

This guy! Arctic boulder whiteberry. Don’t let those fluffy snuggly legs fool you! Meanest SOB ever — esp when eyes are red!!

Have none, just a few slightly more defensive Ts. Even my obt hasn’t ever threat postured me.

My Chilobrachys sp. electric blue is also very aggressive.

Cyriopagopus albostriatus, by a mile & a half. We have defensive T's. T's that are happy to go into threat posture over the silliest things. But we only have one T that sits around looking relaxed & at ease & then teleports up tongs & tries to bite. These are not defensive or threat posture T's, they are OBT's with PMT.

I don't own any mean tarantulas
