Hello Lucien
Thank's for sharing and i'm sorry for the suppression .
You'are a very beautiful spider's and scorpions spécies...
I' ve question i loocking a numbers (1.1 .0.) (0.1 .0)
What'is it a code for differentiate male female (a spécies etc....) the identification key ..maybe!

x.y.z

x = number of males
y = number of females
z = number of specimen unsexed, sexe not known yet

Lucien
thank you for the information
I do not know anything about this area ...I discover your world today .
thank you for sharring

I show your pictures (snakes and spiders) to my children.
they love my son more than 8 years old my question is very interresting.
He wanted to know if your specimen was venimous.
how did you manage to handle them.

The snakes are not poisonous, they are stranglers. So I do handle them a couple of times a week. They never get "tamed" though, but by handling them every now and them you condition them to no longer consider you a threat.
With specimen over 2 metres though you still have to be careful, for you'll never be able to measure up to their strength.

All tarantulas are venomous, though there is a difference between "old world spiders" and "new world spiders". The first ones come from Asia and Africa and have only one defence mechanism, their venom.
New world spiders are from S-America and have urticating hairs as primary defense mechanism, so their venom is less strong.
I only keep those new world spiders.

I usually do not handle them, only the Brachypelmas when needed for maintenanace on their tank.
The stirmis have very nasty urticating hairs and are very defensive, so not meant for handling. Even though their venom is not that strong, the damage they can do with fangs of 2cm is not to be underestimated...
Besides, I'm an arachnofobic, so handling spiders that could fit over my face is something I'm not even going to try

The scorps are not that venomous either, but I handle them only by grabbing the tail with a clamp, so the stinger stays away from my hands.

In general, arachnids are not species taht should be handled unless absolutely necessary. It brings a lot of stress top them (and the keepers).

horrible les mygales !!
25 cm , un cauchemard !!!

Tony ,
apres ton passage ici , tu ne seras plus jamais le meme .... peut etre que ca déclenchera en toi le virus arachnophile ..
NARKOTIK

hello lucien
I look at the scorpions and spiders and wanted to know.
if there was a regulation in order to maintain I would still have a tendency to prefer the scorpions .
NARKOTIK

Not in the Netherlands, but there are some in Belgium... don't know about France...

Hi my friends how are you

look ... http://scorpionspassions.bb-fr.com/forum ... I'm currently get information here.

NARKOTIK

En France pour pouvoir posséder du scorpion ou mygale,
il faut avoir le certificat de capacité(CDC, qui dit que le détenteur est assez compétant pour maintenir les animaux) pour les espèces maintenue, ainsi que l'autorisation d'ouverture d'établissement (AOE, qui dit que les installation sont conforme a recevoir les animaux).
Bien entendu, vu que les scorpions et mygales sont venimeux, c'est autorisations ne sont pas facile à obtenir...

In france, we needs somes autorisations for keep scorpion, tarantulas or other venomous animals(also for protected species, big animals, difficult breeding animals...).
These autorisations are quite difficult to obtain for dangerous animals.

Merci pour cette info

How is "dangerous animals" defined ?
For there are definately more accidents with dogs, then with snakes or spiders...

The S-American species are not very venomous, for example if you would be bitten by a Brachypelma species, you could compare the effect of the poison with a wasp sting.

Same with keeping large constrictors. Being non-venomous but being able to strangle a man, is considered "dangerous" by some, but I have never heard of any serious accidents except some models who were stupid enough to want a picture with one around their neck...

Statistically, chances of being seriously injured by a dog are way higher.

It's different for Old World Spiders though. None of them are lethal, but a bite can cause weeks of pains and muscle tensions... and for scorpions, there are some potential lethal species like Leiurus quinquestriatus (deathstalkers).
I can imagine there are quite different regulations for those, just like venomous snakes...

Does France make a difference in these species ?

In France, considered dangerous:
_all venoumous species (snakes, tarantulas, scorpions, centipedes, heloderma sp...)
_snake over 3m(P. reticulatus, sebae, molurus, M. amethystina, L.olivaceus
_lezards over 1m
_turtle whose mouth width exceeds 4cm
_carnivorous mammals more than 6 kg
_somes dogs

An others animals, I don't know the complete lis...

donc éclairez moi un peu moi qui n'y connait rien dans ce domaine !

si demain je veux faire l'acquisition d'un scorpion ou d'une arachnide ? comment dois je faire ???



deuxieme question :

les especes de scorpions et d'arachnides sont elles toutes venimeuses ?

All tarantulas and scorpions are venomous, but some no more than a wasp.
General rule of thumb for spiders - S-American spiders are not very venomous, African and Asian are more venomous.
General rule of thumb for scorpions - the smaller the chelicera (claws), the more potent the venom.

Hello combichrist ,
how are the spiders, snakes, and scorpions

hello ,Combichrist
A short note to get news about your arachnids

Only one arachnid left, got rid of the rest.

Currently working on a paludarium of 1.8 metres high and 1.2 metres wide, holding a 80cm aquarium for waterpart.
Will be housing an Iguana iguana and a Caiman crocodillus.

Pics are found over here : Here

Nice Post Combichrist
Very good job ,
Thank you for the link ..

Thanks, hope to get the backgrounds in pretty soon so I can start filling the aquarium and housing the Caiman crocodillus.
Bastard bit me yesterday though it's only 25cm TL.....

Hello , Combichrist
An unlucky day , if you want to put pictures of your small caiman you can do so Here

Did you bite it caused serious damage

Niveau araignées ça dépend si tu souhaites te diriger vers des mygalomorphes ou araneomorphe.

Toutes les mygales sont venimeuse comme dit précédemment mais seulement quelques araignées le sont.

Ensuite pour en avoir adresse toi à des éleveurs (si possible près de chez toi vue le froid)

et qu 'il est actuellement ,
