I've held a tarantula in my hand many times. it's heavy, it's hairy, it's pretty ugly lookin at first, but once again man, these shits don't attack you for their own personal entertainment, they attack because they feel threatened. don't make em excited and liek I said man, they're pretty chill. just walks around your hand and checks shit out like any animal does in your hand.

no different at all.

startle the worlds cutest puppy and it'll still bite you. it's just a defense mechanism. the same holds true for spiders, dogs, bears, skunks, everything.

shit, ever seen someone with a beard of bees, yet not get one single sting? why you think that is? cuz they're calm and see no need for alarm.
then you got te "bee keeper" who knows he's gonna get stung the first change the bees get. why? he's doing shit to put em on the defensive.

who you want to be? mr. bee-beard who's laughin, or me bee-keeper who's in fear daily?
