The Infamous "Mexican Redrump" Tliltocatl vagans Care and Notes

from Tom's Big Spiders - Tarantulas and Inverts · host Tom Moran

Happy New Year! First, we'll discuss a listener question about whether or not tarantulas can "learn" to accept handling.Then, this species has been described as "aggressive", "nasty", and even "evil," which is laughable. In this episode, I will break down care and my experience with the wonderful and unfairly maligned T. vagans or "Mexican Redrump."
