Message: <blockquote data-quote="newtots" data-source="post: 32823" data-attributes="member: 3236"><p>i was wondering if there are ways to educate others about spiders and tarantulas??? apparently everyone in the area(although most are "fearless" cowboys) are under the impression that spiders are evil creatures and would sooner bite you than look at you. i've had 5 people in the last week alone tell me that my harmless euathlus sp red and my Brachypelma albopilosum are highly poisonous and pose a danger to myself and kids... both of which i know for a fact are completely untrue. do you need a licence or special training to go in to schools and such to educate others about the spiders???</p></blockquote><p></p>
