Poecilotheria Miranda Handling, GONE WRONG!!

[Jayz159ify]

Don't handle pokies at all and they won't almost bite your balls. It's how i go by lmao.

[fdw412]

@Jayz159ify life = shit happens. she usually isn't that skittish, i'm guessing the lighting spooked her

[Jayz159ify]

@fdw412 Lol I guess lighting makes arachnids from india attempt to bite genetile? Lol naw but for real, I love pokies and yea i've held my P metallicas before, but them being really expensive bugs I really don't think it's worth the risk.

[fdw412]

@Jayz159ify wow dude you've got p. metallicas?? cooool!!! :3 you would think someone that has gootys(plural) would post a vid of them. lets see them, or else you're just a troll. quit being a smart ass and play some video games. your comments have been pointless so far

[Jayz159ify]

@fdw412 I'm not a troll. lol and I do have them. I could email you a vid or something i was thinking about making some vids, but I'm a sissy when people make negative comments. Pretty sure I can send it to you from my iphone.

[fdw412]

@Jayz159ify hey im sorry for my previous post. its been a LONG week at work and ive been geraring up for a much needed vacation. my apologies

[Jayz159ify]

@fdw412 Its cool man. Btw how big and how old is that female now? Does that species grow fast? I've been really curious how fast other pokies grow. Or if abroreal T's themselves grow alot faster.

[fdw412]

@Jayz159ify she was sold a long time ago to a friend of mine. my other miranda i had was a male i bought at ~2.5 and matured in to a 6" beast within a year so they grow pretty fast. ive noticed arboreals grow much faster than terrestrials but it really depends on the species

[demonjack123]

@fdw412 Lol, it seemed you were the troll.

[fdw412]

@demonjack123 ???

[cdemanelis]

lol!!! I haven't had one get in my pants yet but i can see the reason 4 concern lol.

[rozillaspiderfox]

OMG!!!!! ROFL! Glad you didn't get bit, but that was crazy. Were you close to the ground during your handling? If not, I would suggest staying closer to the ground. Maybe you won't lose your pants next time. ;D

[fdw412]

@rozillaspiderfox the pokies I had at the time never jumped, it was the avics I was more concerned with falling. I think back then I had two tigs, three mirandas and a striata which I've handled them all and they didn't mind much. They were nervous at times but I wasn't scared for some strange reason lol. In this vid I got scared when I felt her hairs crawling past my knee, as you can imagine

[MustisEnkeli]

I dont think that Im better than anyone else.. Its just my way to go, not to hold my tarantulas.

[fdw412]

@MustisEnkeli that's cool with me bro. Everyone has their own take on this fine hobby

[MustisEnkeli]

I think that handling any Old World tarantulas is wrong. I dont handle any of my tarantulas, they are in their terrariums, not in my hand.

People should respect more these creatures!

[fdw412]

@MustisEnkeli handling a tarantula does not mean myself or anyone else in this hobby are disrespectful towards our animals. Although I don't recommend old world handling, I did it to show the beauty of this T. Handling my pokie does not make me a bad keeper and not handling your T's doesn't make you better than anyone else

[BirdMan3287]

HAHAHA those bastards love to do that, I had a 5" P. regalis do the same thing to me, ran down my leg and then under and up my pant leg on the inside.

[fdw412]

yeah wont be handling her any time soon

[pastoroftherock]

Very funny...good vid.

[sirsid22]

damn Frank...all most got ya where it hurts!...lol..I.m glad I watched this...I was thinking about handling one of my Pokies...uuuhh...yeah...I'll wait a lil longer!....

[fdw412]

i think what sent her running is the lights we were under, so that was my fault. if you plan on holding a pokie, dim lights or they will bite your ass for it lol

[KawaiiKemonomimi]

Wow, close call. Can't believe I got two pokie slings yesterday. X-D

[fdw412]

sweet what ya get?

[KawaiiKemonomimi]

Just two P.regalis. I didn't expect them to be so small. I think they're a little bit smaller than when I got my psalmos..

[MrDarkart82]

yeah my roomates came running into my room cause they heard me yelling " oh fuck oh fuck ah fuck " ran up my arm over my shoulder down my bare leg back up my thigh fuck i about cryed cause i about pissed my shorts allmost as bad as that hapo i traded you that bitch came out her hole up my arm i just wanted clean her water bolw now get to clean shorts to i allmost miss her i wish i new for sure what she was

[fdw412]

i dont miss her, that bitch was WAY too mean for me

[rednecklivin08]

HAHA!! Dude you had to strip!!! LOL!! Thats great.. I tried holding my P. irminia the other day.. My almost 4'' female... Yeaa I found out right fast that she was not game for it..

[fdw412]

lol yeah four inches is too big, they start getting their attitude around that size

[iroloof]

you made me laugh bro thx....5*

[SpyderownerSixtyNine]

Miranda are WAYY too skittish in my opinion

[fdw412]

this one usually acts very docile. i held her just fine walking around my apartment looking for my camera. i think something might have scared her

[mattmoksnes]

wow frank your brave to hold her in the first place but lol thats crazy where she ended up I've had to take off my shirt a few times when holding my Ts went a little wrong.

[fdw412]

i've had avics crawl down my shirt but a pokie up the pants is a little risky lol

[kevin91172]

Hey I bet that was a real cool expedience.LOL!

[fdw412]

not at all. i felt her hairs creeping up the wrong direction

[420inthe604]

Lmfao, glad no one got injured, that happened to me once with my versi. She ended up goin up my shorts.

[fdw412]

scary experience for the boys

[ihagtafuith]

She's a cutiee.

[fdw412]

i agree, the other female is incredible as well

[TheTarantulasWeb]

LOL...! It went in your pants leg...?! thats a very beautiful colored p. miranda :*D

[fdw412]

[brutt128]
