Just to be very clear, this podcast is NOT a comprehensive guide to how to euthanize a sick tarantula (although I am now working on an article about that). This is a bit of a reaction to a recent video in which a keeper used a rather bizarre and controversial method to kill a dying tarantula. After being contacted by several people, many of them disturbed by what they saw, I felt compelled to comment.
Also, I go over some tips for those who have recently picked up Aphonopelma slings.
*NOTE: After this podcast was complete, I heard back from veterinarian Andy Anderson who offered his very thoughtful opinion on tarantula euthanasia methods. I will share this information in next week's podcast.
