Six-Eyed Sand Spider, The Best Pet Arachnid?

The six-eyed sand spider might be the most venomous of all spiders. Like their close relatives, the brown recluse spiders, these little guys are known for their necrotic, life threatening bites. Obviously, they probably make great pets, but is the six-eyed sand spider as good of a pet as it sounds? Is the six-eyed sand spider the best pet arachnid for you?

So basically, this spider is extremely easy to care for. The only downside is that YOU MAY DIE. 😂

The slightly maniacal look in Clint’s eyes as he explains that you may lose an arm or die is GOLD!

The fact that this spider scores much higher than the human child is hilarious.

"So... It's a zero. Zero's good."

If Biology doesn't work out for you Clint, I'd say you have a promising future in stand-up comedy.

Cool animal? Yes. Cool pet? At this point, I would simply have an empty enclosure and pretend something was in there.

[moonutella]

The morbid happiness while describing this spider made this my favorite video 😂

[Jefuslives]

It's so cute the way they wiggle themselves into the sand.

The way you say "you bleed out internally and externally" with that creepy smile on your face was my highlight of the video

[everymanoffroadadventures]

Clint, you are a literal modern treasure. Your knowledge and enthusiasm are contagious! Please never stop educating 😊

[toddlytodd]

I remember reading that those two bite cases are dubious, and all we really know about them is venom study on mice, where we found their bite is 15 times more necrotic than brown recluses. From what I've seen from other care videos is getting these guys to bite is nearly impossible. They're just not panicky. The explanation I remember reading is that they don't really have a lot of predators to worry about.

I mean, sure it could kill me but did you see the way it buries itself?! Omg, so cute! Also, the way it just waits for food while being cozy under the sand is my 2024 mood, if I'm being honest... lol. XD

Go buy a Huntsman Spider instead. It looks so similar and they're really just sweethearts that eat your bugs for you if they got loose ❤

[noneofyourbusiness]

You know I’ve never really cared too much for bugs or keeping any such kind of a critter as a pet. Who would? But you really just have to stop and appreciate the presenter who has just clearly found something he’s passionate about. it’s inspiring to watch. Good for that guy.

"honey pack your things we are moving!" "wtf are you talking about and why are you pouring gasoline all over the house...." "my sand spider escaped because I was stupid" "ok i'll go start the car."

[NinaFelwitch]

2:19 that smile. A true psychopath. I love it 😄
Joking aside, I love how you present things on this channel. It quickly became one of my favourites.

[wildworld]

While this spider doesn't seem like a great candidate for a pet, it's still cool to learn about it and all its quirks. Not a spider that gets talked about a lot. Love your content!

[ithoughtheterowasashape]

I love that when you started to talk about handling, a second or so before you even said it i said out loud “I wouldn’t” because im somewhat familiar with these beautiful guys and what they can do if you’re not respectful of them 🤣

[DonkeyYote]

"and you have one more arm than you really need..." Great line.

[Sparklyishere]

also “ human rhinovirus, the best pet common cold ? “ ( also no offense Clint, I love ur vids and you have kept me from buying a box of sand forever, and I know there are so many other animals you can do - like diving Beatles- before human rhinovirus )
