Another awesome vid is this tarantula molting. Like most insects, they have to shed their skin to grow.
A good funny vid of when a tarantula gets too comfortable with you. Basically, the guy cupped him in like a cave and the tarantula just wanted to poke his head out. Don't try this if you are a beginner and the guy was fine, the venom on these is quite mild.
Still feel uncorfortable with these cunning creatures? Then go and watch all six vids of sammys update. They are informative and provide a more empathic view towards these fragile beings. Here is the first episode below. Basically, this gal is trying to molt.
