I'm never ever going to be a spider keeper, but I find it fascinating and often deep-dive into Arachnoboards and other spider-keeper and hobbiest forums. One of the best things I've seen on the internet is a video of a guy who's just been bitten by a Poecilotheria metallica

I had an OBT in my collection briefly but never attempted to breed. Baboon's are ridiculously aggressive and the OBT I had was always hiding and it just was not a spider I desired to keep. I did try and mate a King Baboon female once but when I introduced her mate he didn't even get a chance to get started before she killed him. Damn she was a monster but really pretty. She died during a molt and I never owned another baboon after that. I bred quite a few pokeys and they were extremely uncommon back when I was young. Even a P. regalis sling would fetch $100.00 back then. My P. metallica has never tried to bite me, she is pretty docile.
