My brother is in a video production class, and he is interviewing me about tarantulas. Any ideas? It is going to be 5 minutes max. More so 4 min. So far I plan to discuss the "5 paths to nirvana" aka arid species, obligate burrowers, swamp dwellers, arboreal species, and sling care. I am also showing some feeding and handling videos. The interview segment will be roughly 4 minutes. Any ideas or suggesting will be appreciated. Thank you.

Perhaps your brother should include a molt clip. I showed one in my video productions classed and everyone was completely blown away, like they had never seen a T molt before (well... maybe they hadn't). It's always good to have some kind of wow factor in a video class.

I think its a good idea to do the different types of tarantula habitats, maybe try and pic really different looking representatives from each, so they can see the variety that exists in tarantulas. Most people have no idea what T's are capable of looking like :)

Foremost in everybodys' minds, if they're not Tarantula keepers, will be the inevitable question, "Are they POISONOUS!?!?!?!?!?" so please do the hobby and all Ts everywhere a favor by dropping the "no recorded fatalities from T bites" factoid -:eek::eek::eek:

Not to mention that they are venomous not poisonous, as far as all the species that I know of
