Help! In need of tarantula for film shoot in NYC

[Henry DaCosta]

Hi guys! I'm a student filmmaker and I'm directing a film in a week and we need a tarantula available in NYC that can be used for a few hours. The tarantula needs to be able to be held by an actor and we would need someone to be on set who can held handle it. This will also be paid! The shoot day is November 24th and it would only be a few hours during the day. We are flexible on times.

Please, if you or anyone you know can help us that would be so helpful. All the professional animal rental places in the city charge ridiculous amounts. I really want to work with someone who's passionate and knows about tarantulas then just trying to buy one as a pet and trying to do it ourselves.

I feel like this post is against TOS of the forum. Also I dont think anyone here will let you hold their T because most people do not approve of holding them

This is why movies like Arachnophobia have people like Ken The Bug Guy. . .

Anyone who is passionate and knowledgeable about their T won’t handle them.
