New Word Tarantulas: Bites, Venom, and Hairs.

I've been reluctant to tackle this one, as I've already spoken to keepers who have been turned off to keeping new world tarantulas after hearing about their hairs. However, I although I get a lot of question like, "how bad is the venom?" on new world videos, it's rare for anyone to ask about the hairs. It seems that many don't find the idea of "getting haired" to be particularly intimidating. In this podcast, I share my opinions on this subject.
