How in the world... tiktok randomly showed me a video of this dude taking a "bite" from a P cambridgei, but somehow it doesn't even break his skin! Can anyone explain how this worked??
I've read somewhere that Psalmopoeus venom might be used to aid in erectile dysfunction - The dude might've had problems.It certainly looked like a real bite. Regardless, not sure why in the world someone would do that
i saw that aswell, did you see the comment about the guy who killed one of his 50 spiders because it bit him.
Like.. on purpose? What horrible persom would do that.. this was clearly prodding the T :/i saw that aswell, did you see the comment about the guy who killed one of his 50 spiders because it bit him.
Ah.. still insanely lucky! For him that is.. someone in the comments argued to me its bite wouldnt be worse than a bee stingDidn't break the skin because it was a bad angle, fangs went either side of the finger and tried to pinch inwards (which tarantula fangs don't do that well compared to trues), if he'd hooked his finger so that it had something to bite straight down into then they'd have gone straight in/drawn blood/ruined his day.
Yeah....I went back and watched several more times. I can see the left fang slide down the finger nail. It's real fast and really hard to make out. You have better eyesight. I must of watched that video 20 times or more now trying to see. I still can't make out the right fang. Very deceiving sure looked like it pierced but like you said if it did there be blood.Didn't break the skin because it was a bad angle, fangs went either side of the finger and tried to pinch inwards (which tarantula fangs don't do that well compared to trues), if he'd hooked his finger so that it had something to bite straight down into then they'd have gone straight in/drawn blood/ruined his day.
100% she wanted to eat and then realized whatever she bit was far stronger, and bigger, than she could take. She then backed off into a mini threat pose, and bolted.I saw this on reddit earlier. Looks like a feeding response to me.
