So, I recently posted a video on YouTube discussing the tarantula species I&apos;ve found to be the most defensive. Although I tried to think of an Old World species that gave me a difficult time, I didn&apos;t have a single one on the list. I knew that this was going to be shocking for some, but I wasn&apos;t expecting to be called &quot;biased&quot; when it came to how I present Old World behaviors. In this episode, I will discuss how and why my opinions on Old Worlds have changed over the years, and do some soul searching as I consider the message I am putting out. <a href='https://youtu.be/bXgG5GPz__I?si=4iWTHV1L_RI8Dy2e'>Check out the video here! </a>

A podcast devoted to the proper care and upkeep of tarantulas and other inverts. After keeping a G. porteri for over 16 years, I decided that I wanted to add another tarantula to my collection. Several years later, I now keep over 100 specimens and 90+ different species. It’s safe to say that I am now completely addicted to the hobby. I’m NOT an expert, and I’m currently still learning about keeping these fascinating creatures. In fact, there are so many species, that I suspect that I’ll still be learning years from now. A teacher by trade, I enjoy passing along what I’ve information and techniques I’ve discovered and helping others in their successful pursuit of this hobby. I enjoy hearing from folks, whether through comments on the blog or email. I have done and continue to do a lot of research, and I will only be discussing animals I personally keep, so the information I present should be current and accurate.
