It's a Chilean Rose (Grammostola rosea). Probably the most common spider to be found in pet stores. Not very venomous and not really aggressive either. (I've had worse.) But although it's the ultimate spider to start with, do not underestimate those urticating abdomen hairs. They won't kill you... but you will learn what the word "itching" really means. I've been having hydrocortisone cream on my wrist for three days now and it doesn't seem to slow down. All because of Jimmy's doubts. I should have told him that the picture I sent was found on the internet and that I was bluffing. It would have saved me a lot of agony...

Not me. Just rarley use them as bait is something I avoid. ;-) As a pattern they fail me since I don't have any hooks larger than #6 streamers....er...well...there are those 6,7,8/0s from the IOFF swap that don't fit in my AK Best jaws. Maybe vise grips would work? BTW, which variety is that? Nicuaraguan, Guatamaluan? I think the Mexican ones are brown but am not much on arachnids as patterns.

Date: Fri, 30 Dec 2005 22:46:13 -0500 Gee, Nick, I stomp on those things. Allan She's very real. Beatrice is her name and she keeps me company in my tying room. Very good listener and usually very calm. But last night when I was taking her out to take the pictures for Jimmy (who also had doubts), she suddenly got a little bit cranky. She scratched these urticating hairs over my wrist and hand, so my best friend today has been a tube of 'anti-itching cream'. http://tinypic.com/view/?pic=jgmyo7. The hat is an IOFF Charter Member hat. The charter members could chose between signed or unsigned when they were ordered. I bet though, that if you ask Byard nicely, he might sign also a regular hat if you buy one. Can't promise... but I think he will. /Nick On 12/31/05, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: is that real,,,or a size 4/0 fly also,,,,how do we get one of those signed hats??????
