Hey everyone,
Just curious about how many people on here still insist on handling their Ts. Because we just experienced an unnecessary casualty...... among MANY in this hobby!
We bring live animals into college biology labs during the Arthropoda chapter. I'm one of the instructors who has taken a vow of NO HANDLING, and for good reason! Especially around nervous students. I show them their beauty, and I teach about their biology..... ALL of which can be accomplished without handling. But some instructors have their students handle these tarantulas, and the inevitable has happened.
A 10-year old rosie just spent the last 24 hours slowly suffering to death.
RIP Janessa! You didn't deserve this
