Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gizalba" data-source="post: 192547" data-attributes="member: 31253">I found this episode of the Exotic Pet Collective so interesting, with input from Richard, the Dr. and the Daredevil >[MEDIA=youtube]UUsk189Su_Q:3159[/MEDIA]I wondered if anyone else had thoughts on it? I can't say I am particularly a fan of Coyote as provoking animals to bite him doesn't sit well with me, although some of his insights are educational. Something that struck me as odd though was the reason Coyote gave for never having sought out a tarantula bite to test it. He said it was because it would be so hard to upset a tarantula enough to get it to bite you... yet he's grabbing these other animals to make them stay still. I feel like if you grabbed hold of an old world/defensive tarantula it would easily and understandably bite?</blockquote>
