Believe me I do, I'm on arachnoboards too.But [USER=1084]@Chubbs[/USER]  is in the right here. We're talking about a hobbyist with ONE slow moving tarantula...do you honestly think it's responsible to suggest a fast and defensive species?Also, there may not be as many articles about tarantula bites or media frenzy, and you may not see the harm in it, but coming from the reptile industry, I have seen it happen with snakes and lizards. It WILL happen to tarantulas too if stupid crap happens to warrant attention from the media.It may not seem like a valid concern, but it is.</blockquote>
