The big ones are very delicate, their carapace is surprisingly thin, especially in relation to their size and weight.
My mate's aunt was an exotic dancer and she had pythons, spiders, scorpions and such, to use in her act.
A bird eating spider fell off her tit mid-act and died, leaking and twitching, right there on the stage.
It really took the edge off the sexy moment, by all accounts.
