Tornado Alley (PROG)

Yeah, after this first bit am gonna search to see how they measure spider size. Legs have to be in on it. First though, who wants a pet you can't cuddle -

1. Cannot be handled

Though tarantulas are not fatally venomous, physicians from the University of Florida Health note that tarantula bites can cause irritated, itchy, painful bumps, which could last for weeks. When threatened, they may also retaliate by rubbing their hind legs across their body and flicking “thousands of tiny hairs toward the threat.” It is these sharp hairs that can pierce human skin and cause painful symptoms. Fortunately, tarantula venom is not considered to be dangerous to humans, but it’s still best not to handle tarantulas unless absolutely necessary..
