    After having my first beginner tarantula, I realised that (beginner tarantulas specifically), they were like cats. They can hiss at you, they can have attitude, sometimes they're down for attention, other time they're like no, all you really have to do is feed them, give them water, give them a place to live, and give them space when they want it xD

      I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. I remember when my G. Rosea managed to crawl to in between my shoulder blades, it felt like she was kneading my back to get comfy, kinda like when a cat kneads the surface it's sitting/lying down on, including one's lap. Plus, the claws of a tarantula are retractable. :-)

    • @ItsHaisho
      @ItsHaisho 6 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      Shy Dragoness Quite frankly, you don't have any right to tell people what to do with their pets. Certain species can be handled, others can't depending on their temperment. As long as they are handled gently then chances are you're not going to hurt them. Either way, people know their pets, and whether or not they can handle them, and how to do it if they can. Telling everyone in the comments section to not handle their tarantulas like you have been makes you look like an asshole. People know what they are getting themselves into when they get a pet; stop talking to them like they're idiots who have no clue what they're doing

    Oof 5 reasons tarantulas are gr8:
    1. They feel like cats when you pet them.
    2. They’re an aesthetic
    3. Cockroaches are the devil’s creatures and tarantulas will happily take care of your roach problem
    4. They can climb walls and make it look normal.
    5. Watching some of the more docile ones walk ever so slowly is the calmest thing.

    • @spookasaur3132
      @spookasaur3132 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The thing is: Spiders are always hungry. Unless in premolt. They are known as some of the most ravenous creatures in the world because they could theoretically keep eating til everything was dead: If the limitation of their abdomen being easier to rupture the bigger it was wasn't in place. Also, the more you feed, the faster a tarantula might grow/molt, which means they age faster, and equals them dying sooner.

      Littlelotti's Hartland I have almost 40 T's and have had lot's of them kick hairs at me (usually during rehousing) and the most that happens is a itchy hand and then the feeling goes away. No Tarantula hairs feel like fiber glass unless you're allergic and if you only had one docile tarantula you'll probably never have hairs kicked at you anyway. If you're thinking of maybe considering one as a pet let me know and I can give you a list of beginners species. :)

      Nik Some tarantulas have venom that can cause a lot of pain and cramps, but it very much depends on the species. Google "old world and new world tarantulas" and you will learn the difference, also in thejr behaviour. The most venomous spiders are actually the Brazilian wandering spider and trapdoor spiders. These also use to be much more agressive, which most tarantula are not.

    I love that a lot of people will look at this video, go "oh cool, I'll get one", then will probably buy a pretty old world T like Poecilotheria, Chilobrachys or Pterinochilus and get bit with medically significant venom when they try to hold it.
    If you want to get a tarantula, by all means but for the sake of the tarantula and yourself, DO. YOUR. RESEARCH.
    New world tarantulas, (native to new world continents like the americas), like the Arizona blonde (Aphonopelma chalcodes) Tyler holds, are more docile and have less potent venom, to compromise this they have urticating hairs with small barbs that penetrate and irritate the eyes, skin and nose, sometimes lungs.
    Old world tarantulas (native to old world continents consisting of Asia, Africa, Australia and eastern Europe), have no urticating hairs and therefore are extremely fast and have what we call *medically significant venom*. While their new world counterparts have bites comparable to bee stings, an old world T's venom can cause severe cramping, sweating, migraines and other, less pleasant side effects.
    If you get into the hobby, please be aware of the tarantula you get. There are defo some cool looking new world Ts that are perfect for beginners, Ephebopus murinus and Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens are perfect examples. Start safe, work your way up.

      I remember forcing myself to handle a tarantula back in 2008. Admittedly, it was to try and get a little closer to the lass that owned said tarantula, but at that point, I was terrified of all spiders. As soon as the tarantula was in my hand, I exclaimed "Oh. That's not actually as bad as I thought, and it's got a bit of weight to it.". Since then, I've become more and more respectful of spiders in general.

      The problem is that he isn't handling it correctly in the video. Arizona Blondes stay on the ground so they can't hold on to stuff nearly as well as an aborial tarantula and if it fell off of his elbow it would definifely die and he wouldn't be able to catch it.

      Jessie Belle They don't have any problems being enclosed for their lifetime. In fact, most species don't even benefit from having an enclosure that's too large as it stresses them out. Any handling can stress them out as well. They aren't cats or dogs. They don't crave or benefit from human interaction. Handling them for a short time (depending on the species and particular T) probably wont do any damage but it's not recommended. Terrestrial tarantulas are especially at risk since a small drop has the potential to kill them.

      Sam Shamalam you'd be surprised what people can and can't spell. I know people that can't even spell words like Twelfth or Italian correctly. Don't assume. It's also an age, ignorance, or learning thing.

    I hope to try these kinds of pet as I conquer my bug phobia, tarantulas, big moths, jumping spiders.. though that's easier said then done (it's hard to even touch a worm sometimes), the fragileness of these critters is the main thing that sparks my anxiety and I find it very distressing to accidentally harm/crush/damage an insect so I think the phobia stems from something more then just bugs.. but they are lovely! I love their webs and their faces and big ol fuzzy legs

    I know spiders and tarantulas are very different but when I was very little my family lived on a 5 acre piece of land and we would always have like 1 or 2 giant yellow spotted orb weaver spiders and me and my siblings would everyday look for a huge grasshopper together to toss in their giant webs to feed them. Probably wasn't very smart or good for the spiders to eat everyday but no one got hurt we just loved watching them weave their enormous webs all the time.
