I was bitten by my biggest female P. ornata, it is on day 3 and the bite symptoms have gotten worse!! I was taking the MM out of the females tank, I had his tank next to hers so he could just crawl out of hers into his. He was half way into his and all of the sudden all I saw was flaying legs and my hand was jerked down, I then realized the female had nailed me!!! The female was in her burrow while I was getting the MM out and must have sensed the vibration and defended her territory. This video is made to educate NOT scare anyone, this is not a reason not to keep this SP, you just have to use caution!!

  • Would that happen with every spider, or only a ornata? like would pain like this happen or or just pain from the bite from a Avicularia versicolor? did it have some sort of a minor venom?

  • @Bisoneer Avic woiuld be like a bee sting actually less....most tarantula bites are nowhere near this bad...poecilotheria or any of the old worlds have pretty bad venom...nothing that can kill you!

  • @Ejwoods08 well the spider doesnt have 100 teeth for ripping and tearing so it has to use venom.... but i can say watch this guy describing whats going on and then go watch a pitbull attack victim and look at the attitude difference.

  • @YogDodoth your right, rodents have killed WAaaaaaay more people.

  • @superpatitus obvious no-brainer is obvious...

  • @BrachypelmaSmithi100 hey you, i suggest you to get some info about the animal before you buy it, tarantulas arent hamsters...

  • Poor man.  Ouch!

  • but...ouch.

  • <3 i love your videos.

  • man id be on the floor crying like a bicth if that was me
