Message: <blockquote data-quote="Viscus" data-source="post: 41685" data-attributes="member: 3615">Spider-Matt. It is not an abuse problem. Think of this. Something alot bigger then you kept you in a cage, and made your environment suitible for you. You would be happy in said cage. However said creature begins taking you out of the cage. Causing you stress due not only to new environment, but sounds, smells, vibrations, and a large range of other factors. You would begin to develope health problems due to high stress levels which in humans can lead to heart attacks. Now take te fact you bite them one day yes. Then before you can release the creature picks you up by your teeth, which mind you are not made to hold your weight by any means. I can only assume the pain you would feel is the same as your spider who mind you was not made to hang from their fangs.They may be your "babies", but you have not shown that in these videos. Friend, I ask you to step back, and take a second look. As you are putting them in a high stress environment, which in most cases any organizem would run from if given the chance. Friend, the things I have seen in your videos goes agenist everything I have learned as I did research into this hobby. Also you have been lucky that these Ts have not developed an illness from being outside. This goes beyond "changing a spider". In more ways then one this could even be seen as abuse. Treat them with the same respect, and tender care you would want some giant creature to treat you. Please?</blockquote>
