[QUOTE="FishermanSteve, post: 161627, member: 21662"] Personally, I would never put a tarantula anywhere near my face, even with my gentlest species. Ts can be easily startled by a breath and a fall from that height would surely kill a heavy bodied tarantula. Not to mention the urticating hairs they could kick directly into your airway or eyes. Even if you chose something smaller and arboreal like an Avicularia, they are super flighty and are notorious for being poop cannons...def not something I want in my mouth. [/QUOTE]
