Great example of WHAT NOT to do w/ your tarantula! 🖖💚🕷

[angela_tarantulas]

That’s why some beginners and kids think, it’s ok to do so. They see these bad examples at social media and imitate them. The more risk and thrill, the more money you generate, that’s the reason they do this. Poor tarantulas…

[robynray]

I told someone I didn’t hold mine and they called me “scared”. It’s like no you dork I don’t wanna stress them out ??

[sarahmhardwick]

This and I've seen people put T's in their mouths, like seriously... Are you that dumb? When I just hold em I itch for days after words, I can only imagine what it would be like getting urticating hairs in your eyes or throat!!!!

[justsayin]

The T said "Can i just go home pls"

[frankieromantv]

If yah notice the Tarantula at one time kicked hairs hopefully she doesn’t get any in her eyes or nose mouth for the matter “ Playing with fire”

[nikidundas]

I don't understand why peeps do this put too much stress on the tarantulas 🕷️🕸️🥲

[happijak]

One of them literally has a bald spot from kicking hairs, I wouldn't put it that close to my face yeesh

The urticating hairs entering her eyes 2 seconds later:

Whenever i see something like this i like to imagine how the same thing would end with my big Featherleg Baboon mama. She would give free trip to hospital befor even coming close to her.

I personally think if you choose to do this for art, you should be aware of the risks. Some species of spiders will just hurt if tagged, some can kill. No different with snakes, and honestly some dogs can even be harmful. People will probably always use animals in art and photography, it's knowing what animal you are using and the risks of said animal that are most important imo. Would I put a sapphire gooty on me, absolutely not. Would I hold a pink toe, probably, depending on the temperament of said pink toe. But I understand the risks if I choose to do that. Just depends on the person I guess and what their personal views are.

The days tarantula hurtican hair coming to that eyes am sure she gona to remember that days for a long time😅😂

[christophervalery]

People who do this are probably either seeking attention or trying to sell something, but I don't think they realize the consequences that could come from it, OR they don't care.

[nataliepowell]

As someone else said, things like this are no longer surprising on the net, it’s awful but won’t stop sadly

[als_ark]

Why do people do this? I saw a girl get urticating hairs in her eye

[CliffTheAlien]

Don't look at her, she might feel objectified.

[violetvengance]

I’m going to stress out an animal and run the risk of getting urticating hairs in my eyes for likes today 🤔 see how silly it sounds out loud

[saradelamare]

Jesus! Is that a Lasiadora Parahbana on her chest. Better hope it doesn’t get spooked. Don’t want a face full of those hairs😮🫣

[allisfear]

Nahhh ain't no way she stroked it like a pet .

[martinperzylo]

I just think she looks like a right plonker. ✅️

[Fluffypotatoes]

I'm guessing she dosn't know about the hairs
