I was tempted to get one of these a while back and now you're tempting me again.
Hello
They are stunning,just remember feisty as hell and a venomous bite to back it up. In the first photo,after I gave her the feeder I tried to spray a bit of water she dropped the feeder and gave me the fang so I stopped she picked up the feeder down the hole haha.

I think it was that feistiness that put me off at the time but I don't think I would be as wary now.

I've just fed my slings and the O. diamantinensis who has been hunting all day, grabbed the cricket and vanished down its tunnel like lightening, I barely saw it move.
