So if they are capable of paralyzing insects, are they capable of hurting humans? Although, there have been no known deaths as a result of a Gooty Sapphire bite, you do not want to be on the bad side of this spider. Their venom is potent and will typically cause intense pain to their victim. Of course these spiders aren’t actively hunting out humans but they are quick and will defend themselves if cornered. My advice would be not to corner one of these beautiful creatures.<\/p>\n
Endangered Pet<\/h3>\n
Apparently the venomous bite of a Gooty Sapphire is not enough to dissuade people from keeping these critically endangered animals as pets. The beautiful colours and durable nature of these tarantulas make these spiders very popular in the pet trade industry. Personally, I don’t see the desire in owning these spiders but that is just me.<\/p>\n
That does it for today’s Wild Fact. Enjoy the rest of your day and \u00a0I will see you tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
We are going to start the week with an animal that has the longest name of any of the Wild Facts that has been completed so far. I figured saying Gooty Sapphire Ornamental Tree Spider three times fast would be a great way to get your brain working on this Monday.

I am guessing that you are trying to figure out what a “Gooty” is so I took the liberty of looking it up. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5509,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4024],"tags":[348,1373,2547,2546,4025,2550,2548,2549],"yoast_head":"\n
