That’s probably the only good thing I can say about him is he gets eyes on tarantulas in a way that doesn’t paint them as 8 legged spawns of satan(though some of his titles suggest otherwise). Plus, when you’re just getting started, you don’t know what you don’t know. I’d been keeping for at least 5 years before I tried watching him, and (I hate to sound supercilious) I kinda just knew better. But if that’s how you find out there are beautiful spiders that you really want to keep, and you’re willing to grow and learn beyond his ridiculous entertainment, well, that’s not horrible I suppose.</p></blockquote><p></p>
