Australian Tarantulas are venomous... if one bit us, we would experience severe localised pain and swelling and not a whole lot more, however, Australian tarantula bites spell death for domestic pets (cats & dogs).... interestingly though domestic pets are immune to funnelweb bites... the Toowoomba funnelweb for example would put me in a box 6ft under in a matter of minutes whereas my Jack Russell Terrier wouldn't be bothered by it at all. Crazy stuff.Is he venomous? Aren't all Australian tarantulas venomous?

Hi, no, never been bitten. Anytime I'm going near my spiders, it's from behind the safety of 14' stainless steel tongs. Maintaining the enclosures are easy, 98% of the time they retreat to their burrows as soon as they're disturbed. If they don't, I gently blow a little puff of air on them and they quickly run down their burrow.Sounds like fun..
You ever been bitten? I suppose it makes maintaining the enclosures difficult?
