Top 5 WORST Beginner Tarantulas!

Not every beautiful tarantula makes a good first tarantula. In this video, we’re looking at five species that beginners should probably avoid, even though they are some of the most tempting spiders in the hobby. Some are too fragile. Some are too fast. Some are too expensive. And a few might just make you question your life choices.

The Real Reason People Fear Spiders

Why do spiders trigger so much fear in humans? In this video, I look at the science of fear, risk perception, media influence, and why our brains often treat spiders as far more dangerous than they really are.

The BioDudes handcrafted bioactive substrate for Tarantulas, Scorpions, Spiders, Vinegaroons and other invertebrates. Terra Aranea is a one of a kind substrate that was thoroughly tested for over a year prior to it's release in 2019. Terra Aranea substrate is specifically designed for all biomes that can get very dry and arid or in a high humidity biome. This substrate is designed to hold the perfect amount of water while allowing for evaporation, preventing anaerobic bacteria growth, which is a common fight when dealing with inverts and terrariums. Terra Aranea also retains all burrows and hides. I have found this substrate brings out many of the instinctual niches that many different invertebrates do in their daily life. Not only does it hold a burrow, it also holds a complete tunnel when the moisture content is held at 25%-75%.
