It is so sorry that OBT are illegal, Saw a 16.5cm Mature female with a very bad attitude the other day, would love see him trying to handle her.

But dont let him upset you, just let him be, he will soon realize his mistake. :evil:

Personally, I wouldn't have sold a T to that person if his only interests in it is too get bitten and probably just piss it off a majority of the time :evil:

Bonzai, the T must be rescued! Forget the idiot and salvage the T.

Well well well this is where my expertize comes in handy. I have a collection of Hamilton syringes 10µL (MICROLITER)I could cup that puppy of his and draw out a full injection from beneath one of the fangs making sure there is still enough left for her to feed. And ask him to inject him self with the venom.

On another note I have a petshop close by with white lip tree vipers and I am sure they wont mind having him feed one of them by hand.

My best advice on this topic seriously is to get him to a psychiatrist IMMEDIATELY from what I read he needs help and bringing the Tarantula community in, is only going to give us bad name seriously, we have it difficult in a 3rd world country already where we are not even allowed to import new blood lines for our own T's, not to mention those hard to get T's.

I have already heard 2 scary stories beginning this year, which I am not going to share, for the sake of all T lovers.
Please people know what you are buying, and read up on the species. And get your hand on "Tarantulas Keeper's Guide".

It's like buying non poisonous snakes or buying exotic poisonous snakes. "cold shivers" People actually spend money to go for handling courses. No not to get bitten, but to be safe and enjoy the hobby "and not to get bitten "

Don't worry about this fool, he obviously knows nothing about T's, has done no research before buying one and has some sort of mental issue.

As mentioned he's probably going to terrorize the poor thing till it bites him - which I cannot wait to hear about because he is then going to blame you for putting him through tons of pain and setting his arm on fire - but he might kill the T when it bites him and he freaks out.

If I was you, offer him his money back and rescue that T, because this is the same type of idiot that will make it public that he was nearly killed by a tarantula and draw even more attention to a hobby that many of us take seriously.

Get it back if you can.

May people like him please go straight to hell! Pretty sure there will be enough nasties there to bite him. :evil:
