Tarantulas on fear factor was created by RippeR
I don't know who watched fear factor lasst night, had a cool stunt with T's ( ok not all that cool for the guy).
The girl had to lie down in a perspex box with some 500 T's, wile the guy had to suck up some liquid crickets, spit it into a tube, then get a key from there.
They then had to unlock a hacksaw, cut through a steel pipe holding the lid closesd. One girl cried her eyes out hehehehe :laugh: :woohoo:

Sounds insane.

Personally I don't like it when they use Ts in TV Shows, it always seems somewhat cruel.
What species did they use?

On one Mythbusters episode where they wanted to test a fear related myth, they stuck a box on Grant's head with quite a few Avics thrown in. They seemed to be fighting each other and looked like some was dead after a while.
Grant was scared half to death, that was quite funny.

I also saw that Mythbusters episode. But most of them looked fine to me. The problem is that in America there are no animal cruelty laws when it comes to arachnids, so they can easily squash thousands of G. Roseas or Curlies or whatever and they wouldn't get in trouble.

A spider is still just a bug.
Its the same type of cruelty if you kill a roach, a cricket or a spider.
You ever squashed a roach before?
