Take a picture with your hand up real close to it so we can see how big it actually is.

[andynic07]

What sort of bite do they deliver?

 

[SteveNT]

I hope I never find out. For me these are watch don't touch critters. My other half is a spider whisperer from way back and is keen for a handle. Bigger fangs than a coastal Taipan, and comparatively unresearched venom. I'll stay on the other side of the glass. Who knows.....maybe I'll get complacent and become Oz's first tarantula death? Not likely.

Magnificent creatures though. Mesmeric!
