Tarantula Jumps from Arm (Poecilotheria regalis)

[@BMAN-eb4jk]

Some people say holding tarantulas is crazy, but when it's an old world like a Poecilotheria, you're really playing with fire

[@aryak.9623]

im fascinated by how chill this one is, and maybe they were totally sure of it before recording the video.... but i would still be shaking inside in his place. I could be 100% sure this one is not gonna bite, but... it still takes balls of steel to do it.

[@denistoma6918]

​@@aryak.9623Poecilotheria are fairly chill as adults

You can actually see her lean back to prepare to jump, at about 1:11. And this spider 🕷 is gorgeous!!!

[@Alphadog220]

That part was kind of cute.

[@RamoneKemono]

Like a cat!

[@aryak.9623]

its super cute how chill it was and how didnt jump out of fear or stress but just to move to a more comfortable place. I never saw a poecilotheria jumping like that before and its adorable.

[@FUCKTHEBBC]

They live in trees that's how they jump to another branch 😅

spider hug

[@justdrea4666]

That was my text book definition of, “Nope, hell no” If any of my pokies, H Mac, or S. Calceatum were on me, it wouldn’t even have to bite for me to go the hospital because I would already be having a legit heart attack.

[@BONDblue]

This spider is really cute, especially when he jumped on your shirt :3

[@siphy9335]

Wow! i didn’t realize they could jump like that!

[@JanineMarshall61390]

I know, right! I didn't realise one such as that size could, either. I was like, Whaaaattt!!

[@svenkaan6864]

Some can even jump 50 cm vertical. Only tree spider

[@markperez1375]

I know its usually the jumping spider that do that

i was fuggin scared of tarantulas...but then a friend sat one on my hand(i think it was a brachipelma smithi or something) and as i felt those little claws grapping my skin,it was so mindopening and awsome.since then my fear was gone.try it yourself!!!i love them now,these beautiful little buggers:)

[@menilakataraseefluppenimia6970]

Don't try it with Pokies tho. Or OBT.

[@TheNecromancer6666]

@@menilakataraseefluppenimia6970 No. Those are not nice. Gorgeous though. In my experience pokies are chill as long as you do not disturb or annoy them while obts agro at anything. When I speak next to my OBTs its sometimes enough to send her into defensive mode. Also Pokies tend to run. While OBTs stand and fight, but king baboons are even worse. They will go after disturbances. Instead of fight or flight.

[@Dopedruide]

smithis are a completly different kind of league they are very chilled and kinda harmless but Poecis are not so could say a smithi is a walk in the park very chilled and Poeci is le mans racing with maybe bad accidents

[@gavinhebert19]

Arachnids are very intelligent creatures, even more so then humans. I"ll tell you all right now, if the spider thought or knew that the human was a threat to it, then it would have bite him.

[@gavinhebert19]

Arachnids are in my eyes, in my mind, heart and soul, the most perfect, beautiful, powerful, dangerous and truly fascinating creatures in Nature. They're just so pure, primitive and primordial. All of you who respect, honor and love spiders, stand by my side and we shall restore honor and glory to The Mighty Arachnids!!!!

[@mikeydudek2885]

Never seen a tarantula jump like that before

[@buddhabinaural]

You don't have much content but your handling videos show tarantulas better than any other T keeper on youtube. You show clear shots of the markings, how they walk and move. No yapping on for 20 minutes. The only T video I prefer to yours is watching the Scottish bloke get bitten by an OBT but that is for comedy value.

[@Meloncholymadness]

Link please?

[@le2695]

Did you actually handle that guy in the wild!?! Amazing! I wouldn't do it, but it made for a remarkable video. Thank you for sharing. :)

[@kejammin]

That big ass spider jumped.

[@MissR6]

Such a stunning tarantula. Looks absolutely beautiful in the natural light. wow.

[@chrstn243]

Am I the only one that screamed when it first jumped...then damn near pass out when it jumped on front of his shirt? Fascinating to watch ONCE, but a resounding No on ever holding/handling one.

[@TheNecromancer6666]

You are a braver man then i am handling one of those. Not only will they bite when they do you will have a bad week.

[@tim4pele]

Only just started in the T hobby...can't imagine handling a Pokie right now, after reading some of the bite reports. One thing that was funny though...she reminded me of a cat when she jumped. She cocked back and actually wiggled her butt before she jumped. I cracked up when I saw that.

[@danielvamu]

+tim4pele I have two cats and I hadn't noticed that! She does indeed act like a cat when she's about to jump 😂 I was quite nervous while handling her because I had also read some bite reports. I was lucky she didn't bite me!

[@cbudzyn]

Love it, the spider thinks “you want me....fine you asked for it........I’m going to make myself comfortable right here.” I flinched watching this, no idea how you kept your composure.

[@benjaminrapp8651]

Watching this you couldn't pull a sewing needle out of my ass with a tractor! I don't handle new world species, so there is no freakin' way I would handle a pokie! I had a buddy who got tagged by a P. regalis sling and it was not funny in the least.

Had no idea a P. Regalis can get that big. It makes me want to get one. But yeah you loco as fuck to be so calm handling a pokie. It’s like a giant jumping spider

It was pretty brave of you to handle that P. Regalis. They can have a really nasty bite.

[@chipstheii9264]

I've been bitten by one. Not a pleasant experience, as it has even puzzled doctors here in Australia (Many). Took 1 Year and 6 blood tests to find out. Now I'm an Arachnophobe

[@longbongsilvers194]

[@banaunth1240]

I've noticed that tarantulas, whenever not with their webs, become like 10x more chill, maybe cause they're like "I've been taken out my home but I'm still okay, must be safe"

Oh my god them legs!!!! Love that creature, proud p metallica owner here, givin you p regalis props bro

Ive never seen a tarantula jump like that before holy shit.. stunning

[@tinaTron3000]

I got bit by an adult one a couple of years ago..the spider was female and about 6,5 inches legspan..it got me in the finger while i was adding some water and in about 4 hours my arm got completely cramped up to the shoulder, so i couldnt move it at all, also my finger was really swallen..i went to bed and in the morning everything was okay (the bite happened at about 6pm)..after a couple of days i started getting these weird cramps all ober my body but it disappeared in about a week...

[@danielvamu]

+tinaTron3000 Mine is about the same size. I really hope not to get bitten by this one, especially after reading some bite reports... And you weren't even handling her! One needs to be very careful with these 😕

[@leeleeturn]

It's beautiful for a spider but I can't deal with the jumping. We used to have jumping tarantulas in Texas where I grew up and they scared the crap out of me. Because they would literally jump at you to scare you away! It worked too LOL. There were two kinds actually, the skinny jumping ones and the bigger, furrier, slower ones. The jumping ones scared me way more than the bigger, slower ones LOL
