BITTEN by a Tarantula!

In this video I track down Arizona's biggest spider, the Desert Blonde Tarantula, and take a bite to show you just how dangerous this spider really is!

How bad do you think it's going be? Make a comment before and after watching me get bitten.

I really want to show my appreciation for this team and their videos. I'm a pretty big arachnophobe, but this has cut my fear of, at least tarantulas, in half. Could I bring myself to hold one.... ehhhh... but the fear of being bitten is pretty minimal now

Thanks for giving Coyote a break from being bitten all the time 🎉

Mark was like "The males are much more aggressive", the male was like "Whoa, bro, don't you think that's a bit of a generalisation? I'm a pretty chill guy!"

I really admire this guy's courage since I have an irrational fear of spiders

This just proves bros will be bros no matter the species

2:52 - "Oh! I've got a spider right there!"

As a tarantula collector i appreciate you showing that tarantulas are pretty harmless and do not want to attack/bite you. Seeing how you were attempting to be bit by an A. Chalcodes i already knew youd be fine. If it was an old world african/asian species than id be worried for you haha.

everyone: lets do smartphone perfomance comparison
mark:lets do male vs female tarantula bite comparison

Tarantula was like “damn…he got you too?”😭

The Arizona blonde has a venom that will hurt like a bee sting. This isn’t a bad tarantula. It’s considered one of the most gentle tarantulas in the hobby’s.

As an arachnophobe, this took most of the fear of these specific spiders away. Of course, neither want to bite, but obviously under certain conditions the female WILL, and the male CAN, but considering the venom isn't that bad, it's really helped me realize they're not as bad as I thought.

The fact the second spider was like nope when he wanted him to bite him it was actually adorable 😊😊😊😊

[Destiny-Les]

The fact he wasnt satisfied with the first bite 😂😂😂

[lucyharring]

Male tarantula was like "bro what are you doing I'm not even hungry"

Day 3, 578 of asking for the Rattle Snake Bite. (The number of days I’ve asked is significant who knows?)

What’s the biggest spider you’ve ever seen? Share your stories with us!

Thanks for showing how docile and relatively harmless tarantulas are to people. I am in the DR, and people are overly fearful of them--they are big, creepy spiders, after all. Still, I try to show them they are not dangerous and to relocate rather than kill them.

This man is pure bravery, props to him for risking his life to make us entertained

Shout out to the cameraman for not running away in fear

As someone who has owned a tarantula, I can confirm its uncommon for them to bite. They are very docile and do not like to waste their bites or venom on humans. They’ll flick their hairs more then they’ll bite you.
