Hahaha, good luck expecting this from my A. geniculata... that thing won't EVER give up hope that water droplet #338713 might, perhaps, this time only, fingers crossed... be food.

Good, please consider keeping it this way. Tarantulas aren't meant to crawl over us or be picked up. They do not "enjoy" any of it. At best they don't understand we're not just some weird tree, at worst they get stressed and do something stupid, resulting in another dead tarantula from...

First dog I had was a Siberian Husky. I was 9 when we got him. Everyday he walked me to school and also picked me up again later. We hung my weekly plan where he could see it so he knew when to get me. He even used traffic stops, pushing the light signals etc and people appreciated that he...

Dude I love you. No homo. I'd throw a medal your way but don't have the fancy emotes.

My guess is he had a spider or two since then... :geek:

Nice. A bit too heavy on knowledge of species names which I find a bit boring personally (nothing to do with me being horrible at it, silence!). And I don't find it is a good idea to include anything with common names. The less of these fantasy names anyone knows, the better and being punished...

I think people don't apply the term hobby to cats and dogs because for 99/100 owners they are literally family. Would you call your tarantula's family? No, but Typhoon for sure. Another factor is care needed. Honestly there are days I literally forget I have spiders as pets, walk past their...

:banghead:

Do not give in to bullies. Ever. Money being tight or not, if you let people treat you like this, it will only get worse as we can see in this case. If you would have immediately set clear boundaries, this would not have happened. Think of that in the future and things will be just fine! This...

And this is why I hate people...

Aghhh! This pissed me off so much as well! With him tapping on and on I was saying stop... Stop It! STOPPP!! in my head and felt uncomfortable on the spiders behalf. I have seen watering videos before and had a good laugh, but honestly he is way too loud and obnoxious, also very careless, I...

Thank you, great addition to what I have said before. The "flinging to its death" thing is something I have seen on YT years ago. Not cool.

@Kaigronhoff If you search AB you will find plenty of sad "my T fell, is it dead?" kind of threads and they all tell the same story more or less. There has also been more than enough input from very knowledgeable members of this board about the issues with handling, what I said is merely a very...

Ja, but I was more or less joking. ;)

Consider sending this to people you know who believe in various spider myths... so basically all of them.

This. Stop. Handling. Tarantulas. They get nothing out of it but stress and are at high risk for injury or death. Do you want that?

"GET THIS THING OUT OF HERE! AAAHHH!!!" :eek:

TIL I underestimated fish my entire life.

I just don't know what to believe anymore. :eek: Really adorable... does this fish.. have "fun"? :wideyed:
