Handling picture/video are my personal decision. The video of the Poecilotheria miranda you've seen started when I found the escaped miranda in that bottle, so I had to take it out. I tought I would put the camera ON and show to people how to work it out. Of course, when dealing with these species some problem can happen , I was'nt planning to handle the miranda at this moment, but thats how things happened "im not done, wait before replying"
A lot of people cannot tolerate to see handling picture, and I discovered in the last year that most of them were just deadly afraid to have a tarantula walking on them. What is the worst, a guy who handle its tarantula to keep a control on its emotiion when a situation like the one on the video happen, or that guy who dont tuch its spider and freak out everytime its tarantula make a move ?
Handling is in the middle of the biggest debat in internet, and i knew it before sending all my pics and video. This said, if you have a problem with that, its not my problem
I debated so many time for that and its a waste of time.
Watch, enjoy, close the window, thats it.
I am specialising in African and Asian theraphosidae and been dealing with them for a couple of years now. They're unpredictable, but with the time, to me, they're a bit predictable in their unpredictable behavior.
I dont suggest it at all, the video are made to show to people how to react in situation that is a nightmare for most of the keeper ... I dont want to look cool, to look brave, because im not cool and im not brave.
Please, watch only.
Last thing : add after please, watch only ... I am 100% awaye of the risk involved, and im ready for it. In every picture / video, I was doing everything I could to reduce the risk for me and the tarantula. When I am handling, theres many thing I do to be in the most relaxing environment possible for me and the tarantula, and none has escaped or been injured in the year sof handling I made.
Handling gave so much benefict point to me that I cannot just let someone who dont know what he's talking about say : He's stupid.
Bueno esto es lo que so queria decir el autor del video.
Un saludo!!!
