[QUOTE="PanzoN88, post: 117724, member: 4548"] i already posted about this on a b, but decided to share the experience here as well. I was called by my grandmother to do a presentation of my tarantulas for my small cousins whom I never met (my grandmothers niece is their mother, so not sure how family pecking order works in this case). I showed off my G. rosea, B. albopilosum, A. geniculata, male E. Sp. red. They were quite intrigued by my E. Sp. red and A. geniculata. Instead of letting them touch the live specimens, I softened up a molt (soap/water method) and passed it around. One of the kids was supposedly terrified of tarantulas, but seeing how calm the E. Sp. red was, he was not afraid to go near the enclosure. The molt I passed around was of my P. cancerides who molted on Saturday. I even fed the B. albopilosum and A. geniculata, but they chose not to eat for the camera (it was recorded) this time). I believe I just created three future hobbyists. It was very rewarding for me as well, as I had the opportunity to educate others about these fantastic creatures. I hope I can do this again for a bigger crowd this time. [/QUOTE]
