My tokay geckos eat guppies if I drop them into the water dish, my question is what kind of shrimp?
I currently have nine-
2 Avicularia versicolor- Antillies pinktoe - calm and can be handled
1 Pterinochilus sp.- Usambara orange baboon - she'll run after you if you if you look at her wrong. Super aggressive and untouchable.
1 Hysterocrates gigas- Camroon red - deep burrower rears up and show some fangs here and there.
1 Heteroscroda maculata- Togo starburst - greased lightning and out to kill. Runs around at 100mph from the slightest disturbance (unpredictable).
1 Poecilotheria fasciata- Sri Lanken ornamental- great eater, fast grower and a medically significant venom. Scary but very pretty spider.
1 Psalmopoeus irminia- Venezuelan suntiger- Black and orange speed demon. One of my favorites.
1 Citharishius crawshayi- King baboon- Huge reddish brown monster. Huge fangs and a temper to go with them.
1 Haplopelma lividum- Cobalt blue- wild asian that wouldn't back down from a grizzly bear. Instead of running, it flips up on its back and dares you to touch its venom dripping fangs (OUCH!!!)

I got hit twice by the Usambara orange baboon. I think thats what she does for fun. She is about 4.5-5 in. The actual wound hurt more than the vemon. Took a hit from my cobalt when it was about 3 in. Stung like a mutha ****** for about 1 day and swelled. The biggest surpise I ever got was from my Antillies pinktoe. It is totally docile and and predictable (were ever you put it, it just goes up). One day I was holding it and it crawled up on my back and I forgot about it. I sat down on the couch and leaned back on him and he bit the back of my arm (very tender skin!!!) That sucked. The Pinktoe survived and is currently chowing down a cockroach. As for the others (togo starburst, king baboon,sri lanken orn.) I keep my distance from them for my saftey and theirs. Although When I got the Sri Lanken, I fed her a cricket and she grabbed it, ran out on my arm to eat it, and began to web up my arm(that was pretty nerve racking).
Very cool, the ones I had were given to me and both very mellow, They got fed gut loaded crickets and I never did know a damn thing about them. If I did I wonder if I could have prevented the fungus.
