Tarantula Madness

[Green_Elite_Cab]

GEC, I see that your scorpion is reading up on how to install Kadee Magne-Matics for you.

Oh yes, he is great for putting the springs back on the knuckles! He spears it with his sting and then uses his claws to push it in place.

So will you be training your spiders to solder your catenary for you as well?

I tried, but spider silk, though conductive, does not have the necessary stiffness.

I'm just glad my son doesnt entertain ideas of keeping spiders and scorpions [yet], and I sure dont want to deal with the grief I would get from his Mum [my ex wife] about it.

As for me, well looking at your photos was quite enough for me thank you very much.

In all fairness, these really do make great pets. A lot of people get really scared of these things at first, but after you have them for a couple weeks, they loose that novel "scare" factor. They're basically 8-legged hamsters.
