Every so often I catch myself thinking of doing a nice set up when I get my house. NO idea what kind, but pretty sure it will be something bigbut calm enough to handle...just in case I get the nerve up lol

This smells to me like a Brachypelma Smithi or even better, Grammostola Pulchripes

A tarantula with deadly venom? I'd love to read a toxicity report on this species saying it can kill a human.

They have tried it on mice. It dies within 30 mins. Not very many people are willing to get bitten by a spider. But they say since the mice only live 30 mins after bitten that ur should be the same in a human. Crazy right? But I'm not willing to test this out

I don't doubt they're more toxic than most species, especially new world. That being said I would doubt that they're toxic enough to kill a human. Would it be a crap experience? Probably. But I wouldn't say they can kill. Do you have any more pics of it? Enclosure pics?
