well it wouldnt be pleasent being old world tarantulas they rely primarily on their bite rather than flicking hairs because of this their venom is more toxic than alot of new world tarantulas, it would make you quite ill but generally not a medical emergency

I know someone who got bitten by a red starburst baboon - it jumped out of it's tub and bit her chest(top part)! Left 2 red marks and a bit of swelling only. Depends on the species of baboon I'd say.

the thing about tarantula bites is that sometimes they may not give a full envenomation or some may have worse reactions some might even feel nothing if its a dry bite

True, everyone reacts differently to venom and usually every envenomation affects you that bit worse also.

It depends on the baboon really. All baboons are pretty aggressive and only usually kept by people who have a good bit of expirience. None of the baboons are a hospital job unless you're illergic. But you shouldn't get bitten if you are carefull

I remember reading a phrasse describing the effects of a king baboon bite. Im sure its not as bad as it sounds, maybe a little overexageration but - Extreme systemic reactions' Which isnt nice! lol
