Worst T venom?

[Sage Exotics]

If you had to get bitten by every single T except one, which one would you choose to not get bitten by?

If you had to get the urticating hairs of every FW except one in your face, which one would you choose to not to?

 

[LC72uk]

For Toxicity the P ornata.

 

[Enn49]

I agree with @LC72uk on the P. ornata and I believe the L. parahybana has the worst urticating hairs.

 

[Sage Exotics]

Hm. I always heard T. Blondi or T. Stirmi were pretty bad, they next on the list of urticating hairs?
P. Ornata is a pokie, right?

Yes P. ornata is a Pokie.

I wouldn't fancy being bitten by a Pterinochilus murinus.

 

[Sage Exotics]

Strange how everyone has a different opinion, I wasn’t expecting to see a NW on here for bite. I guess it would depend on where the T. Blondi or Stirmi bites you, wouldn’t it? I don’t think I’d fancy a P. Murinus either, but from what I’ve read a bite from a pokie is supposed to be worse though nobody’s certain.

I wouldn't want to be bitten by her...shes a 10.5" T. Stirmi. Her last molt the fangs were over 1".
She never strikes once either...she doesn't retreat. She stands her ground and stridulates.

Venomwise I'd say the P. Ornata

@Shampain can first hand tell you what a OBT bite feels like.

I cant believe nobody has mentioned the top two who are supposed to be the worst when it comes to venom??
Stromatopelma calceatum and Heteroscodra maculata

Has there ever been a actual venom report ever done? I've only ever heard of 3-4 different species bouncing back and fourth for the top spot...but that's all speculation also.

I've heard H.maculata has the strongest venom but haven't read a bite report.

Heteroscodra maculata

Stromatopelma calceatum (Not much here for these)

rofl, indeed
I don't want to get bitten by any of them,
(have some health issues still so infection is always to be avoided)
but the idea of a Poecilotheria bite, especially a P ornata, is definitely high on my list of things to avoid !

Yeah...this is the same stuff I've been reading for years. We need @Shampain to compare bites of the H. Mac and Obt...then the Ornata.

 

[Metalman2004]

Bad picture, but these are the fangs from a T stirmi molt I have. She was about 8” post molt so they were even bigger than this picture I would assume. I’ve got to think that’ll do some gold mechanical damage.

As for venom, I’d rather not find out personally.

I always thought I was immune to urticating hairs, until I met a T stirmi..they are hands down the worst, for me. Fiberglass doesn't hold a candle to stirmi hair. But I think reactions to hairs and venom cant be generalized, people have different reactions, and different severity levels of typical reactions.
