[hornet]

nah, no handling aussie t's, very skittish and quite a painfull bite.

 

[deebo]

painful because they are mildly venomous or just big fangs?
probably a very dumb question but i know nothing bout spiders!

 

[hornet]

bit of both, also when they run the often fall, when they fall they tend to crack open and die.

 

[deebo]

fall? as in just trip up or fall from a height? they must be fairly fragile then...

 

[hornet]

young ones can hold on but sometimes will still fall but adults will have trouble keeping hold if they run upside down and often will drop.
