Cringy tarantula videos

[Brachyfan]

This is super cringe. Not tarantula but spider based. And this dude has been partaking in something lol!

This, ugh. Why do people insist on making their spider enclosures "pretty" for humans? Good luck with your dead spiders, dude.

Can someone explain why I keep visiting this thread? Brain cells do not grow on trees.

It reminds me of going on political sites that I don't agree with - I do it then I'm thinking 'Why am I torturing myself with this stupidity?'

There are a lot of things that can be associated with that "dude"s track record. Except dead spiders. I would agree there's just a tad little substrate in one or two of the enclosures.

Eh, touché. I'm just not a fan of tarantula enclosures covered in plants and rocks and crap just to make it look prettier for people and less safe for the animals since those enclosures usually have about 0.5" of substrate. I enjoy simplicity in my spider's homes.

That kind of enclosure is much more prevalent in Europe. You don't see it nearly as much in the US. Personally I think it detracts from the "star" of the enclosure, the tarantula itself.

This is so wrong on so many levels, it hurts (at least as much as it hurt the guy in the video)

Huge thanks to @birdspidersCH for putting things right and calling them out on their false information!

Coyote Peterson wannabes (but why would you "wannabe"?)

My dad is actually friends with his sister though. Lmao

Beat me to it. Isn't one guy going around getting bit/stung and exaggerating the effects, and providing misinformation, enough? But now that I see this was on the History Channel, I'm not surprised. Misinformation is kinda their thing now.

I don't know if y'all have seen this, but shoo wee.

Yo!!!!

 

[AlexVevo]

The comments make me sick...

Yo!!!!

I actually feel physically disgusted... How do the people in the comments find nothing wrong with this?

That guy deserves to have his hands itch intensely for months upon months. What an idiot. And I feel sorry for that poor spider...just trying to defend itself from a predator grabbing it.

 

[Craig73]

Did I just get punked?

(Very first video) Forty seconds in was as far as I could go...I really thought I could go the duration until she said...and I quote...” I really don’t handle them that often, but this goes to show how docile they can be, at least the ones you can get as pets”.

Hell if I’m going back to the source if I did transcribe that wrong.

He also went from “Ive never done this before” to “This is how you pinch grab” in less than five min.

Those poor spiders. Completely wrong setups. I feel like this guy is trying, but just has no clue what he's doing unfortunately.

no kidding... passionate, but has his head in the wrong places. he seem to have stop producing vids, which is good. last thing i want is for someone to see his vids and say " oh wow! i can put my T in one of those??!!?
he also mentions that he'll do a follow up video on that setup but never did. i guess his T ended up drowning and was too shameful to post a follow up vid.

the second vid is too much in the end.... i mean... u got a OW ur trying to prod into the final enclosure and ur holding it up on a lid supported by a paintbrush. obviously looks like it's going to tilt over. He's lucky. could've gotten bit.
oh yea.. not to mention he put a burrower into an arboreal enclosure.. dang man..
