There are many reasons as to why I posted this video. I will explian; 1.) People should not be afraid of spiders. I was purposely going against the Tarantulas' will to do this to show you they are not out to get us, and they are pretty harmless. 2.) Wanted you to see the behavior of the spiders when they are getting handeled. The first tarantula (Zebra Tarantula) that is getting handeled is very paniky when the second one(Rose Haired) is calm. 3.) Wanted you to see the behavior after the tarantula is being handeled. The Zebra Tarantula tends to climb up the glass to try to get out. THIS IS WHY THEY CLIMB!!!! You will see that near the end of the video. 4.) Zebra Tarantulas are handleable (I don't know if that is even a word :) I'm not saying that they want to be, but they are, if you are calm and you do not breath on the tarantula. Tarantulas HATE it when you breath on them. (Kind of like us) I handeled the first tarantula pretty poorly due to lack of arm space. Also, if you are wondering whose holding the flashlight, it is just my third arm. lol Just kidding, I actually had it in my mouth. ENJOY!!
