Can someone enlighten me please. As a beginner, I've done my research on tarantulas and I'm still having trouble with information on urticating hairs. Google can only provide so much knowledge and it's mostly just elementary too. I need to ask some straightforward questions and i hope someone here can give me clarification.
1. Are all the visible hair strands on a new world tarantula urticating? Including the ones on the legs? Or are they much smaller and are mostly hidden? - similar to a bird's inner feathers (contour feathers).
2. Old worlds have noticeable hair too, especially the P Cambridgei. Do they possess a different type of hair? Is it possible those hairs will accidentally detach and fly off simulating a "flick".
3. Do tarantulas fully regenerate all their lost hairs (medium-severe) and restore bald patches in a single molt?
4. I see these Youtubers handling their 6-inch new world Ts like they're nothing. Won't the urticating hairs make contact with their skin eventually and don't they worry at all?
Guys, i know the "hairs" aren't actual hairs. I'm just using the term cause it's easier to use.
I appreciate your time and effort for reading and answering my questions. Peace.
