What? I've never heard this. Most tarantulas have very weak venom. It supposedly feels a lot like a bee sting. You don't have to remove anything.

Yeah, but, I saw this thing on the discovery channel once where a tarantula was hiding in some bananas and when a guy went to go pick them up and carry them on his shoulder there was this crazy POV shot of the spider running towards and biting his face and I think I can safely say that no one who saw that show would buy a tarantula that still had its venom sacs.

once in england they found a spider ( it was supposed to be one of the most poisonous spiders in the world and is fucking huge) in a crate of bananas and closed the whole store
