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.

New Word Tarantulas: Bites, Venom, and Hairs.

A podcast devoted to the proper care and upkeep of tarantulas and other inverts. After keeping a G. porteri for over 16 years, I decided that I wanted to add another tarantula to my collection. Several years later, I now keep over 100 specimens and 90+ different species. It’s safe to say that I am now completely addicted to the hobby. I’m NOT an expert, and I’m currently still learning about keeping these fascinating creatures. In fact, there are so many species, that I suspect that I’ll still be learning years from now. A teacher by trade, I enjoy passing along what I’ve information and techniques I’ve discovered and helping others in their successful pursuit of this hobby. I enjoy hearing from folks, whether through comments on the blog or email. I have done and continue to do a lot of research, and I will only be discussing animals I personally keep, so the information I present should be current and accurate.
