[QUOTE="Denny Dee, post: 59809, member: 1393"] The venomous true spiders have always been the most fascinating to me. However, there are dozens of species available in the trade which are harmless or have mild venom (similar to most of the common T's). Always a good reminder that we must all use caution in this hobby as all T's, scorpions and Trues should be respected as DWA. Agree that a sicarus sp. may not be the best to go with but frankly, if housed properly, the chances of getting tagged are virtually nil as they spend 99% of their time under the substrate. T's are much more likely to bite than most trues in my opinion. Widows cannot even bite through some of the thinnest cloth due to a lack of powerful fangs. Now Pokies on the other hand.... [/QUOTE]
