My beautiful Brazilian White Knee tarantula. Very docile and not aggressive but I'd prefer not to handle it because her urticating hairs (hairs on her rear abdomen that she can kick at the eyes of predators) irritate my hands when I do.

    I have three dogs (one just gave birth to a single puppy yesterday!) and five lizards as well. I love all animals for what they are and I'm not limited to only tarantulas in preference, but they are my main interest. Tarantulas are peculiar and have their own many unique characteristics which attract me through curiosity and their aggressive disposition makes them a spectacle at feeding time. That being said, there's really few things in life better than petting a dog or a cat.

  • My rule of thumb is if you need to keep it in a cage, it's not a pet.

  • @Jaredr781 10 Gallon tank should do the trick. These spiders are terrestrial.

  • Wow, this is one amazing looking spider :) .

  • what size is that Tank/Terrarium??

    and, do you recommend big plastic bins for these T's?

  • @tkoizumi Rabbits.

  • omg she is so beautiful :)

  • Gorgeous spider. Pointless video.

  • @tkoizumi SO THEN A DOG IS NOT A PET? IT IS KEPT IN A HOUSE (LARGE CAGE), THE CAR (MOBILE CAGE) OR IN THE YARD (OUTSIDE CAGE). IF YOU FEED IT, PROTECT IT, DON'T EAT IT...IT'S A PET!

  • so cute :3

    Not a stupid question at all! In reality, no tarantula bite is deadly and there has never been a reported case of a death from one. Interestingly enough, species such as this one which originate from South America hardly ever inject venom when they bite in the first place. Their size and a few other factors relinquish the need for the use of venom in pretty much all cases, even in defense. Species from the Old World have worse venom, but the major symptom is simply pain.

  • @spidamidget This is a very pretty (probably a bad choice of word) spider, cool vid. Maybe a stupid question, but i presume its bite is deadly?
