THE WILD-MAN'S WILD FRIENDS VIDEO SERIES - EPISODE 3 - TARANTULA

in #wild-man7 years ago

These guys are so cool!


I had no idea that there were Tarantulas in Arkansas when I moved here, but I am sure glad that there is! In the year and a half that I have spent here, I've only seen a handful, and this one was the biggest. With a mild venom as painful as a bee sting, I was a little hesitant to pick it up barehanded, but I got over it rather quickly.

Growing up, bugs were where I got my start. They seemed to be everywhere and the world of bugs is such an incredible and interesting place to visit. Though we had some large Wolf Spiders up north, I bet my mom is glad that we did not have any tarantulas. Some days I am sure that we put her through enough. Who would have known that it would pay off one day.

The information is the video is original but I did have a quick refresher from this source.

Spiders are one of the only fears I have. AAAAAH. I love your posts, my 11 year old son loves your animal post too! You have a little wisdom fan. lol

Glad to hear the boy likes it! I've got another one about ready that I may post later today! Thanks!

I always said I've never move to the southwest because of the scorpions. If I knew Arkansas had tarantulas, I might have added that to the list too!

We have scorpions here too!

Good Lord, how do you deal with the fact that they love to hang out in shoes?

Sandals 4 life.

nope. nope. nope. I love animals. I DON'T do spiders!!! YIKES!!

I am a man. Agreed.

not every body can do that

They could, they just choose not to, and with good reason sometimes!

agreed but some people suffer from Animal Phobias and Zoophobia is one of the most common specific phobias. Research conducted on this phobia has shown that humans have a genetic predisposition to fear certain types of animals. Often animals like snakes, spiders, insects etc stimulate a disgust/fear response in us. don't take me wrong I'm an animal lover

Sweet! Tarantulas are kind of my jam. I'm currently breeding around a dozen species and I have a few of that very species, Aphonopelma hentai. I hate to blast my own blog links everywhere, but here's an older one that shows one of my bird-eater species from egg sac/eggs to tiny spiderling. Thought you might appreciate. Thanks for the post, @papa-pepper!
