Avicularia versicolor "Aurora" bite

This video was really only made to show how minimal the A versicolor venom is as far as negative effects to the body. My son was cupping this boy in his hand so Aurora used his fangs to gain leverage to pull himself through the opening of Dyllan's hand. Dyllan had VERY minimal effects. He had a bit of redness around the puntures and slight itching for about 15 minutes. This T is NOT aggressive at all.I woukld compair this to a cat using his nails to climb a tree. Obviously, Dyllan is no longer allowed to cup a T like that again :-)

You're a cool mom.

[kaydyn1512]

@trekfan92 Well thank you!! :-)

[Izzysanchez99]

@kaydyn1512 Did it let go by it self or did you have to pull it off?

[kaydyn1512]

@Izzysanchez99 My son loosened his hand and Aurora basically just hung out there during the video until my son touched his butt. :-) He didn't even start walking then either, just pulled his fangs out.

could possibly be the only tarantula bite video in existence.

@shire2005 I think its interesting that you found the video so boring but seemed to have the need to make not 1 or 2 but 3 comments. I would hate to see what you do when you love a video. ;-)

@kaydyn1512 Crickets are like cylinder-roaches lol, they can bite though!

looks like a dry bite, (no venom was used) even though most all tarantulas have mild venom, if he would have gave him a dose it would have like a bee or wasp sting, do you not know that all spiders like venomous snakes have complete control over how they bite? they can dry bite, give you a little bit or a full dose, they do these to save venom for hunting and usaually only get the full bang if the spider feels endangered, check out my rose hair eating a toad, and im about to get a mex red knee

@kaydyn1512 Well i hope that there isn't any resident bacteria that live in or around the fangs that can do damage.

@Effekt47 Don't get a false sense of security because Aurora really wasn't intending to hurt Dyllan so the bite wasn't like it would have been. BUT I can say, I've been bitten to be bitten and honestly, it wasn't as bad as I had imagined.
