So - we have a beautiful rose hair tarantula, I have affectionately named Fluffy. Most of the time, she is totally docile, and will let you hold her all day if you want. But, yesterday, she wasn't in as good a mood; she let us know that she was not wanting to be bothered...

The fangs you see are over a quarter inch long; and yes, venomous. Thankfully, the venom only hurts, and is rarely lethal. But sill, I will avoid getting on that side of her again.. [thumbup]

Anyway, just wanted to share! I know lots of you hate spiders (BTW- we own two other tarantulas; one adult, one baby), so i figured you would get a kick out of this...
