Mexican Red Knee tarantulas are harmless. They only bite as a last resort, and if it did bite, it would be no worse than a bee sting. I've had one as a pet for years, and it has never been aggressive.

∙ 13y agoYes, They can bite as can all animal's they are a good beginner species of tarantula to keep because they are quite docile and relatively slow moving, however they like all spider's have venom and to most people a bite from one is comparable to a bee sting... however some people are allergic to the venom so be careful when handling :)

What are the dangers of red frogs?
Red frogs are sometimes dangerous, depending on their species. Their skin secretes a substance that is poisonous to a lot of animals. It does this in order to protect itself from predators that might try to eat it. But a lot of other frogs adapt this skin color as a protection also - except that these frogs don't secrete any poison. It's just the natural shock of the color that makes other predators think that some frogs may be poisonous and that they must avoid them, when they actually aren't poisonous. ~ Hexedgirl2
