All spiders have a certian amount of venom but not poisonus, i would not recomend a spider to a child, due to they are too hard to care for. they require spacific heat and humidity, as well as patients. This spider is only a sling in this video but will grow to about 7-9". again not for kids. A good starter spider would be a Rose Hair. they are only like $20 dollars at the pet store and are easy to take care of but again depending on the age of your child.
I wouldnt handle this one too, small and easily frightened. A child would not understand the fagatability of the bug. and might scare it. forcing it to bite.
yeah this is old fottage but as slings they seem to burrow so i had just after the 3rd video transported her to a taller more arboreal tank. thanks for the reply
I've noticed. I keep 4 poecilotheria (ornata, formosa, rufilata and regalis), avicularia, heteroscodra, tapinauchenius gigas and psalmopoeus arboreal Ts. I found that my poecilotheria regalis (sub-adult) and my psalmopoeus irminia sling really burrow and the rest don't. How big is your blue?
Ya, to see the blue, you need to expose it into the right light. I have a terrestrial version of the sing blue, the cobalt blue. She's a fully grown adult female, and Its also difficult to distinguish the blue. It is hard to sex arboreals at that size. Pokes are pretty easy to sex because females get brighter in color for each molt, while males brown out. Generally Ts with very large abdomens are likely to be female

You should tilt the hide diagonally a bit. These guys are arboreal. Nice blue nonetheless. I'm raising a couple of arboreals myself.

My blue is about 3" now hard to tell the color blue yet until i take pictures. So hard to tell male/female yet.
