I just bought one of these guys for a video I’m working on next week:
It’s a Chilean Rose Hair Tarantula. This start out nicely, but ends up being horrifying:
HANDLING
Rose hairs are among the most docile and even-tempered of all tarantula species. However, as with any tarantula, it should be remembered that rose hairs are venomous, even if only slightly so. Most humans suffer no systemic effects from a rose hair bite, instead experiencing localized pain, itching, and burning. Unfortunately, every person will react differently, and you will not know if you have a problem until after the fact.
