Do red hair tarantulas bite

Yes, red hair tarantulas, like other tarantula species, can bite if they feel threatened. Their bites are generally not dangerous to humans, causing mild pain and swelling similar to a bee sting. However, they primarily rely on their defensive behaviors, such as displaying their fangs or flicking urticating hairs, rather than biting. Proper handling and respect for their space can minimize the risk of a bite.
