Does this anger anyone else?

My best guess is that he/she just unpacked the poor thing and she (N.chromatus) doesn't know what's going on, or what to do.
I can clearly imagine this moron being bitten by her in the near future. Or dropping her.

I feel so sorry for this beautiful girl..... :sadwalk:

Is it bad that as I watch these videos, I'm sitting here hoping they get tagged? :evil: It's one thing if you want to try and handle your spiders. It's something completely different if you are annoying the heck out of them...

I agree.... just because she has the "knack" for holding T's she is annoying them and to me that borders on abuse.

Ugh it would have to be a female wouldn't it? lol. She's giving us girlies a bad name doing that. I would never be so taunting and annoying to my spider like that. It's just plain wrong.

I think maybe it's a kid.

I posted a reply on YouTube and then retracted it. I was not in the mood to write anything productive. What really tweaked me were all the misspelled, semi-grammatical comments of admiration. The whole tarantula-as-prop-to-show-off-how-macho-you-are thing gets my panties in a bunch.

And really, the only reason the poor creature didn't take the fool's hand off is that it's one of those gems of calmness and patience.

She is most definetly annoying the Ts. I do handle my Ts, but with the least possible stress. I do really hope that person learns to appreciate the spiders as pets and not a toy. :tool:

People like that make me sad, that is just cruel. It's too bad there are no laws protecting invertebrates. Not sure what's so different between them and any other animal that's protected. Both are living things right, ah well. :?

I've seen these videos before hunting for T info on youtube. When I saw the videos I thought to myself, "I've never actually held a Tarantula before, but that doesn't look to be the right way?" Judging by everyone reaction I guess my intuition was correct.

See even someone who didn't know the correct way knew that was wrong.

i'd like to see that person do that to a P. regalis or an H. lividum or a P. murinus. then maybe that person would get what's coming.
Did ya ever notice how in America, a pizza gets to your house faster than an ambulance? And why are there braille dots on the keypads of drive up ATM machines?
