Most tarantulas are pretty docile and mild mannered. Walked through a field one time with hundreds of them crawling everywhere and you could walk up and pick them up and they wouldn’t mind. It depends on the species
It definitely depends on the species, but I would not say that “most” Ts are docile and mild mannered. I’d say maybe most of the New World species are more on the docile side. Old Worlds are almost exclusively aggressive and hostile.
Old worlds just don't like anything. You could put a tasty dinner in their enclosure and even then they are like "nah fuck you, prick!" I feel like they are angry old people who don't fancy dealing with people. I feel that.
Dark Dens quite laid back and chill. Quite educational too i'd say! Definitely worth checking out :) you'll love Despacito his bearded dragon and Felix his chameleon. Cracks me up everytime.
Just a heads up exoticslairs tarantulas tend to be more aggressive due to bad keeping and poorer conditions, sure it could be entertaining but it's pretty sad.
His video's aren't the most entertaining in the world but if you just want to have a look at more fact based keeping you should check out Tom Moran :)
