@kelvin_wiley: While handling my female Mexican Redknee Tarantula (Brachypelma hamorii), she began to sink her large dagger-like fangs into my hand. From an outsider’s perspective, this sort of behavior may look nefarious. But in reality, she’s just using her fangs to gain a better grip on my hand. Many spiders will use their fangs to anchor onto surfaces when their legs don’t have good footing. What’s really interesting is that spiders generally have a good control at holding back their venom from being released while anchoring! *Hand drawn stickers added to my store’s website for purchase via link in bio!

birds grab on with their beaks too. a lot on inexperienced bird people think they are biting but they are just moving and it pinches. its like that but i am not a spider person to this extent. so I'll stick to beak balancing 🙃

Most folks don’t know that spider fangs are modified appendages so it makes sense they would use them to hold on

Love that she’s clearly not intending to hurt you any and you remaining calm proves that, hate that this terrifies me and makes me quite concerned.

Sometimes I wonder if we underestimate the intelligence of critters like these. It doesn’t seem like she’s being careless, more so the opposite. What a cutie pie

quick question, not that I don't believe you, but how do we know she's not injecting any venom? I'm genuinely curious

I feel like this gives the same vibe as the guy who does the “cave explored pov” videos. Like “ yeah this red, hand sized tarantula has its inch long fangs in my skin. Brilliant” 😃

One night I put my hoodie sweater on and there was a giant wolf spider in my left sleeve and it anchored its fangs into my arm. I felt my shirt sleeve snag so I pulled on it and I felt a snap.
