Boanerges Tarantula Feeding Video # 5

[Boanerges]

This is my latest tarantula feeding video # 5. Looks like I had a minor editing mishap in the middle of my video but nothing major. Still learning Finally got some video of my Lampropelma sp. Borneo black (not very good but beggers can't be choosers). Hope everyone enjoys!!!

I think I have under 50 now? I have 2 more P. metallica slings coming in next week (which will bring me up to 4 P. metallicas). My Poecilotheria tigrinawesseli was a DOA on my last order and the guy had no more to replace it so he gave me a good deal on 2 more P. metallica slings.

This is a current list of what I have (minus the two coming next week):
0.1.0 Acanthoscurria geniculata

wow...

so allow me to be really stupid and ask which of them are you able to handle without an issue? and could any of them actually inflict serious harm?

[Boanerges]

Not many in my collection I can handle. Some of the ones that don't have a potent amount of venom in my collection are either too defensive or skiddish to mess with. The Old World tarantulas have the most potent venom and can send you to the hospital. You need to be waaaaay more concerned if you have an allergic reaction to the bite. No reported deaths that I know of have ever came from a tarantula bite though. But the experiences from the bite is very, very, very painful and reoccuring symptoms can last for weeks to months after the initial bite. Here is a bite report by RobC from an Old World tarantula the Poecilotheria ornata:

so are there ones that are 100% safe or is there always the risk of getting bit just like with snakes? and what ones deliver the lowest/weakest venom per bite?

[Valentine Pirate]

Very cool video! Didn't even notice any editing glitches, was too busy watching awesome Ts

There is ALWAYS a chance of getting bit unfortunately. A lower of weaker venom T is like (but not limited to) Brachypelmas, Grammostolas, Aphonopelmas, Avicularias.

Thank you and thanks for watching!!!!!!!!!! The glitch happened before the P. metallica sling video started I think? It was minor. A black screen with what looked like a transition effect of fire at the top of the screen I think? Didn't last long and I have absolutely no idea why or how it even happened
