Later in the video the spider begins pinching her once more and even appears to puncture the surface of her skin. Kayonna bravely holds her female rose hair spider up to the camera while it demonstrates its biting action . But once again the spider's owner remains remarkably calm and holds her hand still for the spider. Kayonna wrote online that the tarantula was showing aggression or possibly testing her fangs. She wrote: ‘Her bites were not painful, the after effects from the venom were more painful with the symptoms being slight redness of the skin surrounding the bites, soreness and itching. ‘This species of tarantula has low toxicity venom similar to that of a bee sting.' Kayonna said that the particular type of tarantula has low toxicity venom similar to that of a bee sting .
