I'm guessing you are talking about a non venomous snake? Tarantulas are venomous. Some more potent than others but they all are. Look up bite reports. They can go from, feels like a bee sting to... Throwing up for a few days, tunnel vision, muscle cramps, high fevers etc.

Will all respect, you might want to start off keeping a few Wolf spiders or Jumping spiders.

The people posting "handling" videos are A. people who have been keeping Ts for years. B. didn't get enough attention from mommy. C. Just stupid to begin with. :p
