Tarantulas are poisonous to some degree. Just like a bee sting, the effect of tarantula venom may vary from person to person. However, it is usually best to see a doctor if bitten by a tarantula. A tarantula bite can be very painful. Tarantulas use their venom to digest their food. This is why they can not be de-venomed as pets. Smaller Spiders such as Black Widows and Brown Recluse are more dangerous and poisonous then the average large tarantula.
