Fun with Bad Tarantula Articles! (Or, How Bad Info Is Created and Spread)

There is just so much misinformation about tarantulas out there, and I often wonder how some of the crazier stuff originates (and why people would believe it). Well, I recently read an article that served as a sterling example of how misinformation is created and spread by people seemingly in the know. Also, why we need to stop hating on the G. rosea (rose hair)https://amp.thecalifornian.com/amp/85677326

A podcast devoted to the proper care and upkeep of tarantulas and other inverts. After keeping a G. porteri for over 16 years, I decided that I wanted to add another tarantula to my collection. Several years later, I now keep over 100 specimens and 90+ different species. It’s safe to say that I am now completely addicted to the hobby. I’m NOT an expert, and I’m currently still learning about keeping these fascinating creatures. In fact, there are so many species, that I suspect that I’ll still be learning years from now. A teacher by trade, I enjoy passing along what I’ve information and techniques I’ve discovered and helping others in their successful pursuit of this hobby. I enjoy hearing from folks, whether through comments on the blog or email. I have done and continue to do a lot of research, and I will only be discussing animals I personally keep, so the information I present should be current and accurate.
