[QUOTE="Captain Firecat, post: 38888, member: 3530"] Hi all. Just wondering, if a brachypelma vagans got out, how dangerous would it be to a guinea pig? I have no intention of letting them meet, but the only place I can safely site the spider will be in the same room as the piggies, so an escape could put them in contact. I'm guessing from size the piggie would at least get very ill (piggie = little over 1kg), and hopefully the spider wouldn't even get in (it would have to climb over a foot high grid), or would go anywhere else. I have an exo terra setup (or will) and I'm thinking the old 'book on the lid' approach I adopt with my snakes will serve me well again, so the chance of an escape, while I'm not there in particular, will be very very slim, but just as a worst case scenario?
