I said i was going to let my Goliath bite me, but the little bugger got me anyway. The thing appeared out of nowhere when i was giving him water, Such speed for one so fat.

The pain isnt too serious. It all swollen, moist and glistening. I have a slight tingling in my arm, but it feels like its on fire! Really warm, like someones used deep heat on my arm.

Here are some pics, not to clear though.

Keeping any animal that is capable of biting, the time will come when you will get bit. However, the point is why would you want to taunt your arachnid to bite you? There is absolutely no real reason in doing this. Like Ravnos said, the first bite, you might not have a allergic reaction, but the second one you might. I still don't see how wanting to let your arachnid bite you is going to change anything. Either way, it looks like a painful occasion.

I don't mind getn taged by my boas too much, but a spider..............no way !!. At least when you get taged you can't realy see the teeth, but those fangs on spiders creep me out. I think i would keep anything before spiders. More power to ya for keepm' though. Some people think I'm strange because I love snakes. So I guess I am in no position to say anything about keep'n spiders, guess there just not for me. Anyway COOL pic, look painful. Welcom to the bleeders culb.

I don't know that much about T bites, but that sounds neurotoxic to me.

	neurotoxin Neurotoxin is a toxin that acts specifically on nerve cells – neurons – usually by interacting with membrane proteins and ion channels.

No one knows much about tarantula venom, all the more reason to not be so foolish.

It isnt at all bad, The pain is nearly gone. I expected to get bitten when drunk, lol. The beast must have read my mind, and took a pre-emptive strike.


We know enough about Tarantula venom to know that nobody has ever died from a bite. A healthy, fit young man is unlikely to be seriously injured. I also have a spider bite First Aid kit ready, which contains an adrenaline boost.
