[QUOTE="PamCz, post: 45997, member: 3784"] [I]"However the symptoms resulting from H.maculata and S.calcaetum bites are shown to be very serious, and I'd argue even more unpleasant than a bite from an OBT."[/I] Right! This is why I own an OBT and not an H. mac or an S. calceatum. Maybe their bites are only moderately worse than an OBT...but I still am not interested in owning them...and tempting an even worse bite than what I have on hand already. :D One day, they'll joint the roster...well, maybe not the S. calceatum. The worst venom...and it charges threats rather than running. No, thanks. I would pee myself if it chased me! :oops: Mentally, I'm not ready for those two, and I think one shouldn't own a T (s)he's afraid of.
