No one who values their fingers!

They don't call them "thumb splitters" for nothing!

I had an enormous tarantula for several years. I used to handle her and let her crawl on me with impunity, until I saw what she did to a full-grown mouse. It was bloody and awful.

After that, I stopped letting her climb on me.

That is wait too cool. I would not do that however

kind of like watching a snake charmer

Cleaner shrimp from hell lol

Nope.


Nope nope nope nope nope.

Not a chance

Someone in the comments on that post called them "murder shrimp"...I kind of like that one too.

A lot of salt water anglers have had their fingers and thumbs shredded open by these critters. "Thumb-splitter" is an angler's term.

"who's a good little mantis"

15 minutes later...

"honey can you google a recipe on mantis shrimp(s)? oh, and you might also want to call an ambulance too"

rather try to pet a stone fish

Awwwwwww, hims too cute! :lol:

I used to pet my Japanese dragon moray on his head till about 4 years ago when he jumped out the tank at me hitting the floor.

Good sir,
Do you have trouble walking due to your enormous balls of steel?? I don’t think people realize that a flick with one of the poppers on a large mantis shrimp is equal to the force of a .22 cal bullet. I bet this guy also eats a bowl of nails for breakfast without any milk like that bouncer from Spongebob Squarepants. Sharks probably have a week long marathon of tv documentaries devoted to this unidentified bada$$.

I have to wonder how much blood it would take to start a new cycle. I suspect this guy will find out soon enough.
