Saw this tonight on IG and it got me worked up. I wish people researched more before getting a tarantula. To make it worse, the video was edited and played club music in the background; almost as if was made to be a "funny" video. I messaged the guy about the video and told him to add more substrate. Not in a condescending tone, out of pure concern for the tarantula.

People on social media make handling videos all the time too . Ontop of bad cages with too little room or substrate.
