    I'm suprised you didn't talk about the Tarantella dance!
    In the same part of Italy that the "tarantula" wolf spiders come from, superstition led people to believe that a bite from these spiders gave you a condition called "tarantism," a kind of mania. The reccomended treatment for this condition was to perform the tarantella dance! This would supposedly make the affliction leave the body. It was perhaps used as an excuse for emotional release since the society was pretty repressed at that time.
    The term refers to a few different styles of dance, and you can even watch people doing the tarantella on UA-cam if you want! It's pretty entertaining.

    Great video! One fact people aren’t aware of is that tarantulas are exceptionally clean animals. They groom themselves after every meal (at least mine do) and at least once a day, whether they eat or not. Further this grooming is very similar to the way a cat will groom itself. Further after finishing with a moult they always remove the exoskeleton from their burrow/arboreal hide, or web over it as though burying it ‘in the walls’. Also they never leave uneaten prey items in their burrows, and regularly will ‘re-web’ the insides of their homes.

    Here's one : While tarantulas gained popularity as pets during the '70s and '80s, they were first considered as pets since the late 1910s/early 1920s !
    William J. Baerg, a college professor from the University of Arkansas, was the very first to treat them as pets. It is thanks to him that knowledge about tarantulas became eventually available. From 1918 to 1958, he studied a local population of Aphonopelma hentzi.
    He also traveled to Mexico, Honduras and Trinidad, collected specimens for study. He also allowed himself to be bitten or stung by Black Widows, Scorpions and Centipedes, so he could research the effects of their venom on people. Crazy, huh ?!
    All this is found in his book, The Tarantula, published way back in 1958. You're not going to find the original prints, but reprints are occasionally available. Definitely worth getting and reading.
    Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)

    Tarantulas can regenerate limbs and even drop them during stress "getting hung up/caught on something" or during a bad molt when a limb gets stuck during the process. Typically it will take 2 molts to fully regenerate the limb back to a state where its not even noticeable that it was ever gone.

      They gas the tarantula with CO2 to calm it down, then stimulate the fangs over a vial. Depending on the venom type they sometimes have to have a mini suction device to extract the digestive vomit away from the venom.
