Message: <blockquote data-quote="Denny Dee" data-source="post: 40067" data-attributes="member: 1393">Great video.  Love Jon's work.  I have an adult Six Eyed Sand and a relative from the U.S: American Sand Assassin Spider ( Homalonychus sp.).  The Homalonychus (or at least mine) spends more time above the sand so I get to see her every day.  The important takeaway is the Sicarious sp. is ranked as the 2nd most venomous spider in the world.  Not for the beginners for sure but an incredibly interesting species.  These guys are like something out of a Sci Fi movie with the way they stay buried in the sand and overwhelm their prey from below.</blockquote>
