Tarantulas

[RoganTheGypo]

My cousin used to have one when I was younger, I'm a bit jittery around spiders I'll be honest but taratulas arn't that bad, as long as you don't run around arms falpping and squeeling like a dick they are pretty docile things. They probably won't approach you anyway.

If you ever get to pick one up try it (Gently) they have a bit of weight to them so feel a bit like a small bird.

The little jumping ****ers can just go to sweet hell though!

You are probably far more at danger from tiny parasites that the human eye can't even see!
Stop being a bunch of big baby's and get a grip!!!

The only time you should be afraid is at night time. Tarantulas enjoy dark, moist places and it isn't uncommon for them to mistake an open human mouth for a place of comfort.

You probably don't even feel it skittle across the bedsheets, working around your forearm splayed across the bedding, and up to your neck. Here it waits until your snore subsides, leaving your mouth open. It pounces into the dark area and you awake instantly, already beginning to choke, forcing the tarantula into your airway. Panicked, it fills your throat with venom, before dropping into your stomach, madly dashing around your guts.

It's at this point you pass out but worse is to come.

They are pretty common in Dom Rep. You find loads on the roads at night getting heat from the Tarmac.

As someone who used to hate spiders, I have now have a small collection of T's. They are fascinating to watch and they each have there own funny little things they do

 

[Krisali]

Awwww i just want to pick it up and pet it

Just seen you are going to Punta Cana. The spider in the video is an adult male. They wander about looking for love. Interested in nothing except copulation with lady spiders.

So basically the Tarantulas are there on holiday as well?

OP just make sure he packs plenty of these in his case to wear at night and he'll be fine:

old thread revival but any T owners about on here?

 

[BUDFORCE]

Tarantula are pretty much harmless although large.

Wondering Spider is the one you really need to look out for.

 

[GreatAuk]

Lol what a thread revival!

I want to know if OP saw any tarantulas on holiday but he was last seen on Jun 2, 2015 . Maybe he brought back a tarantula egg on an item of clothing, and it hatched then slowly grew at home, until a couple of months later it killed him in the manner described so effectively by magnolia.

I'm from Glasgow, I want to deep fry it.

 

[Voltar]

That's one cute Tarantula.

agreed.

not been lucky enough to spot one in the times I’ve been to the Caribbean.

OP, I think you’ll be just fine. Unless you’re staying in a tent in the forest

RoganTheGypo was last seen in 2015 as well. They definitely went on holiday together and got eaten by a giant tarantula.

Magnolia, that was a good read. Your writing talent has revealed your secret identity. Welcome to the forums, Stephen King.

An average of 1.2kg of spiders are consumed over a lifetime , regular visitors to the carribean though increase that to 3.kg. Spraying lynx africa gets the tourist down to 2.4kg if done regularly.
