I'm pretty sure the only prerequisite to being a real tarantula owner is owning a real tarantula. Also, getting bit doesn't mean you're stupid. It just means you were careless and unfortunate.

Tarantulas are food aggresive, so maybe you could dress up like a cricket and bumble around near your spider's burrow.
First of; HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!Hobo, you always make the most hilarious posts.

Second; getting bit does not make you stupid, getting bit on purpose does, however..

I am curious how bad it really hurts.. But no way in hell i would intentionaly get bit. I think you must surrounded by stupid people in your life to consider this. Who are you trying to impress? :? Or is this a symptom of cabin fever? What your considering is not beneficial for the hobby in anyway. It makes the hobby look careless and imature.

The whole "Your not a real tarantula keeper until you get bit." Probably refers to one thats been in the hobby long enough that it eventually happend one day on accident. But there are people that have never been bit in 25 years. Sometimes when people are trying to save a pet during breeding or from a fall its a chance you may choose to take.

You need to withdraw from the hobby. From the sounds of it, I could tell you you're not a real tarantula keeper unless you rub some T.blondi hairs in your eyes to feel the pain and you would probably believe me and then ask these boards about the way to go about it.

That's a good perspective to have! {D


To the OP.......

Let's say you do get up the nerve to provoke one of your tarantulas to bite you. Do you know that you aren't allergic to their particular venom? The adverse effects to your health could be devastating.

You might think it's cool, funny, or whatever right now, but it's really not. I personally don't want to see a newsflash of some person who was "visciously attacked and killed by their Deadly Rose Hair Bird Eating Tarantula" on my television tonight. The hobby doesn't need any more people misrepresenting the facts about tarantulas, and an act as thoughtless as the one you're contemplating would do nothing more than that if it went wrong.

Who are these people who told "You're not a real tarantula owner until you get bit by one."?

Why do you want to see how much it hurts? Are you gonna let a train hit you to see how much it hurts?













All of the above who have been quoted are morons. Don't suggest for him to get bit, or give ideas for how to get bit.





A mod needs to lock this

Eh...I don't appreciate being called a moron....especially by somebody who doesn't even know me.....if you did not get or did not appreciate the humor just say it's not funny..don't start calling names :embarrassed:

I think with this kind of thinking you might want to get bite by a black widow just. To see what that is like now i would getting bitten on accident but on purpose is just stupid.

I really hope this doesn't start a whole other discussion on whether you can/can not be allergic to tarantula venom.

I think it would be a nice change of pace from the OP.

Really? If you don't want to be called a moron don't act like one. Its not the fact that I didn't get the humor and/or sarcasm. Its simply the fact that this person wants to get bit by a tarantula because of what someone told him. Humor or not it is ignorant to suggest how to get bit.

If this person wants to get bit, he will find a way to do so regardless. See what he answered. Even after people telling him not to, he decided it would be the most fun with an OBT. We can't do anything here, so we might as well make an arse of him, because it's so much more fun!
