I was changing the water in my Ts enclosure, and when I do that, usually I just sit her on my hand since she's calm and unoffensive. Today when I did that she did her usual thing of walking around and then I felt something sharp on the top of my hand... I figured it was just her little claws since they often feel like that, but I looked over anyway to make sure she wasn't close to falling or anything, and her fang was up ON my skin.
I'm thinkin "ah she's gonna stick me" (lmao) and I walked her onto my desk before she could. But I was under the impression that when a tarantula is gonna bite you its gonna be quick, not slow like that. I'm assuming that when they decide they want to bite ya, it's just gonna happen, they aren't gonna sit there and think bout it. LoL
Has anyone ever seen a T do that? I don't really know if she was gonna bite or what, but she had plenty of time if she had wanted to do it as I felt the sharp sensation for a few seconds before I looked over to make sure she was alright. If she had bit me I'd expect it would actually hurt somewhat and I'd see the punture wounds and there'd be a burning sensation or something. But I've never been stung by a bee or bit by a T or anything.
So what exactly was she doing? Considerin givin me some venom perhaps?
Any thoughts on what just happened would be extremely helpful!
Thanks!
Here's a pic of her so you all can see who I'm talking about...
