My experience with a venomous Chilean Rose Tarantula!

My boyfriend and I visited Xscape in Leeds, and there we saw a stand with a guy with lots of birds of prey, snakes and spiders! You could pay to hold one and the money went towards conservation, so I thought why not!

I chose the Chilean Rose tarantula! I have no idea why, they scare me to death!

After I had held it for a while, the guy told me that they were venomous and I had a tiny panic, but I didn't want to scare the tarantula so I tried to keep my cool!

They actually have massive fangs, look at these:
