RE: TIL: Tarantula can bite humans
You are absolutely right, shouldn't believe what you read or told, even if, or especially if told by your know it all husband.
I'm actually really happy that they don't do this, as has been said it is very cruel. And tarantulas at the aforementioned place must actually just be pretty tame.
lol At the know it all husband part. I'm in the zoological field and I've heard all kinds of bogus claims over the years. Defanged spiders, spiders that laid eggs under someone's skin, exaggerated spider sizes, etc etc. It happens, I just try to inform them when I can. 👍
