Now im terrified

I was planning on getting a tarantula to help me overcome my fear of them. I heard they are for the most part calm and gentle animals. Watching this scared the poop out of me and postponed me getting a tarantula for a while. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiZgdkurcGc

Jeepers creepers look at those fangs! Eeek!

Thats what im saying. I went to see handling videos and thats the first one i see. Me overcoming my fear isnt looking too good.

Im missing something...? What part scared you?

You don't have to handle T's. They're fragile so its easy for them to get hurt.

Well for starters I never recommend a G.rosea (Rose Hair) to anyone as a first T because of this reason. A ton of people say oh they are great for first T's and yaddah yaddah but a lot of people dont tell you the dark side of the rose hair.

If you want a great starter T look for something in the Brachypelma family.

Also if you are watching youtube videos of tarantulas I recommend only watching Jon3800's tarantula videos

Its the fact that im scared of them to begin with. If one of my snakes bit me it wouldnt freak me out. I would just evaluate the situation and figure out why it happened. If a tarantula bit me i would need years of therapy.
