Haha I don't know why I'm looking at tarantula videos when I have black widows. You seriously have guts to keep that tarantula. Most of my friends would scream their heads off seeing a regular house spider. Tarantulas fascinate me, yet they scare me too. I think I once pet my friend's Chilean Rose (or beauty I don't remember) and it twitched as though scared. Do they dislike being pet?

@sukinorules Tarantulas usually dont like to be handled at all. They are not social animals and usually think they are being attacked when they are being handled. Some species (like the chilean rose) are docile enough that they can learn that humans are not a threat...and a plesant source of heat. Those ones wont 'complain' too much about it,

@KingdomPears So spiders are nasty huh? They deserve to die just because YOU think they are nasty? I cannot even begin to list how many diseases and parasites that "cute" animals like rabbits and mice have. If "nasty" animals deserve to die like you say they do, than I should just start a rodent genocide. Point is that an animal doesn't deserve to die just because it looks "nasty".

well wierd things happen... i came here from a video of a very agressive b. smithi (mexican red knee) and it shows that even though a specific type of T is supposed to have a certain nature sometimes they just don't

@sukinorules if you want good tarantula species for a pet, ive heard almost nothing but good things about the species known as the Mexican Red-Knee, here in the states most pet shops sell Rose-Hair Tarantulas, but Roses tend to be worse pets than Red-Knees, especially in the Handling department, some Rose-hairs are docile, others are mean, once again ,each individual spider tends to have its own personality

[Lavos2007]

@sukinorules while its true some tarantula species are generally more docile than others and take easier to handling, just remember one small thing: tarantulas much like almost any other animal on earth, each have their own personalities, ive heard of people going out into the wild for tarantulas (not for pets but science) and some of them would bite in a flash yet others were sorta timid but fairly docile, same species of spider, despite being wild animals and not captive-bred
