[TheStreetfight21]

ahahhahahahaha na huj ci te rekawiczki haha

[mrclassnquality]

you might wanna look into calling that a pink toe twice..... HA HA

[matrinwaylay]

Very nice spider :)

It's certainly a species I'd like to own.

[girlsk8guy916]

ha yea it took me a while to wearm up to holding my tarantula... took about a good 10 min if that but there hella chill i wouldnt even worry bout it

[yamr1maniac]

gloves???!?? lol

[HoloMatter]

All tarantulas carry venom, and the hair of the Avicularia avicularia can cause skin rashes to people who are allergic to it. it is better to be safe than sorry with a tarantula, they are foreign animals and must be treated with respect and caution. this species is,however, one of the more social tarantulas and can get along quite well with humans.

wtf its just a pink toe i got dared by my dad to hold his goliath bare handed and i did plus im only 12

[erik9elizabeth7]

[PunkRose075]

[taigaboi]

handling a pink toe with welding gloves? xD

[drjohnpreston]

yeah the hairs irritate like mad an i have a spider the exact same species/size and my girlfriend touched its toe and it jumped into the hair and grabbed her hand!

[robicool]

lmao!! how loud did she scream?

[drjohnpreston]

i was too busy running off to take much notice.

[dodokaka]

dud thats a nice t. whenever if you ever hold it. make sure you wash your hands after. specially after cleaning its tank. its hairs are so itchy

[epatcrbor]

um tarantulas can't jump! maybe an aboreal like this pink toe but i dont think so hes prolly just really fast.

[dodokaka]

pink toes can, ive got one that hoped from my hand onto my lap. only when they get nerveous though

[fu3737]

i cant w8 im getting one of these guys today :) any one have any advise 4 me?

[marshallspikebanana]

they only jump if you scare them, or make sudden movements

[redmoney2007]

I have a question, I just got one of these, and I have read so much that they jump alot, is that not true? because I have seen a couple vids of ppl handling them without them jumping, does yours jump?

[drjohnpreston]

pinktoe tarantulas can definately jump, i had one walking slowly along my hands then jumping a few inches.

[wolfboy789]

Hey everyone, I'm thinking of buying a tarantula because they seem like magnificent creatures but I have some major questions about them, care, maintnence and such, so if anyone could send me a pm and answer some questions i'd appreciate that greatly. Thanks everyone. By the way thats a beautiful pink toe you have midnight.

[midnightskulker]

This was my first time handling her. If you check out my other videos, you'll see that I've handled her without the gloves. Thanks for all the encouragement, it was quite a memorable experience.

Still nervous with Tarantulas or sensitive to the hairs? :3 if it's nervous, you're better off without the gloves ... they may restrict the amount of movement you can use to handle. :3

[DarkLabelx94]

i never bothered with the gloves. I have the same breed. They're only going to shed those urticating hairs if they're nervous around you. It's all about trust.

[BlackNGoldRules]

I used to have to wear gloves because I had problems with there urticating hair. Had nothing to do with thinking they might bite me or something. Eventually I had to sell mine because I got sick off all the little itchy red bumps I kept getting on my hands and arms. Now I have a snake! No hair to worry about with that.

[dimmuborgir6nik6]

Haha, that's how I was when I got my Rosehair. I wore a gardening glove the first time, but then I was like the hell with it, and I took it off. Now I let him crawl all over me, he's been on my back for a while just hanging out when I couldn't see him. Pink toes and Rosehairs are very friendly and rarely bite. Atleast your guy sits there. Mine never does. He's always crawling around and exploring.

[dudeisanawesomename]

lose the gloves they are really freindly just dont hold them over tile because they jump

[wannakraka]

WHy are you wearing gloves? it cant hurt you unless your alergic to bees..

[d4rkj0k3r]

@ teentitansnumber1fan.. its an Avicularia Versicolor .. common name is the Pink Toe Tarantula..

Good job handling lol, i have a B. Smithi (Redknee) and a G. Rosea (Chilean Rose)...

I only handle my rosea as my smithi will take a flying leap of my hand >_>.

Curious.. Why do you wear gloves? Is it the hairs?

They do make you itchy lol

[teentitansnumba1fan]

What kinda tarantula is that?

[tartissexy]

i would love 2 pick up my baby tatrantulas i am just 2 scared 2 pick it up just incase it bites i need somoone 2 be with me and me do it 4 the first time then maybe i will be ok after that

[dudeisanawesomename]

I have a pinktoe to I never use gloves though there really friendly just watch out when they jump I was just holding mine and it jumped but thankfully it landed on my bed

[Gastly22]

why are you wearing gloves?

[Bampy]

Aweee, this video made me giggle! She's such a cutie!

[jllobet]

Beautiful tarantula. I have a pink toe too, a. avicularia, she is very friendly, I never wear gloves to handle any of my Ts. They can jump off your hands, not good.

[Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay]

oh come on - lose the gloves !!! and watch the face-jumps - they love those :)

[jaredkipe]

Be careful, sometime they jump!!

[dandinh12215]

[FetusZero]

[nateman8]
