This species shouldnt have as potent venom as P. nigriventer or P. fera. But I belive she still could kill me.

I would tend to agree with you there :)

[Tegenaria]

lovely looking spider, how big?

[Tarantula]

almost 4" legspan.

[neilkane]

do u need dwa licence for that species???

[Tarantula]

Yes, but she isnt venomous. P. nigriventer and P. fera are very venomous on the other hand so all species need DWA.

Whats a DWA licence and why do you need one for this spider? Is it because itsa protected species or to do with the venom?

Whats a DWA licence and why do you need one for this spider? Is it because itsa protected species or to do with the venom?

Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976, required for the keeping of certain animals.

More info (http://www.defra.gov.uk/wildlife-countryside/gwd/wildact.htm) ;)

IMO it a DWA should not be needed for this species since it is not very venomous, on the other hand P. nigriventer and P. fera are very venomous. Quite tricky genus since its hard to know how venomous the species are, either they are very deadly or not venomous at all. Hmm need to find some more papers on these! ;)

first you say...

then you say...

Yes, but she isnt venomous. P. nigriventer and P. fera are very venomous on the other hand so all species need DWA

and go on to say...

IMO it a DWA should not be needed for this species since it is not very venomous, on the other hand P. nigriventer and P. fera are very venomous

then you say...

then go on to say...

either they are very deadly or not venomous at all.

and finish of with...

So to sum it up then would it be true to say that you do not know how vemomous this species is?
One thing I can tell you is that it is going to be venomous as it has venom glands so you can rule out
not venomous at all. How toxic the vemon is toward humans though I can't help out.
Sorry.:D

Well if you look on when I posted the diffrent replys, you can see it is some time between every reply. And it came to my knowlege that this species isnt dangerous to man. And yes It have venom but you dont die from it.
