Urticating Hair Paranoia

[Moroes]

Repeated exposure to urts makes it stronger each time. I almost never get haired because I use tongs and stuff to grab water dishes. And I give spiders oversized enclosures so they don’t kick hairs when I open the cage lid.

See, I was thinking of doing the oversized thing, until again I saw some YouTubers, always cramming their T's in really small enclosures. So I guess it's not bad to give them more room than they need then.

Here is a video by Tom Moran in which he uses gloves and long sleeves during a rehouse of his Thrixopelma ockerti. Around the 5 minute mark he talks a little bit about it too since they're another notorious hair kicking species

I'll check that out, thanks. I really like Tom Moran, he seems to be a respected keeper, unlike some others I've heard bad things about.

Tarantula Collective. He's everywhere on YouTube. Good lighting, good microphone, so I tended to mainly watch him. I like Dave, Tom, despite the production not being up there lol. I'm a bit snobby, as I YouTube myself for a living.

Tarantula Collective got me into the hobby in a way, but the production is very 'American' to me. Not always in the mood for it.

I think Dave is adorable and I like how gentle he handles the spiders. Bob Ross of spiders hehe.

Do you have a Tarantula channel too? Or don't you want to dox yourself?

No it's not Tarantulas lol, I've never had one before. Would be hard to have a successful channel without them. I have a few channels totally unrelated. Video games, politics, and wrestling. I know what you mean by the American like production lol.
