This Clip Of Spider Egg Sack Being Opened Made Us Queasy

Attention, all you haters of everything that crawls. If you hold your life dear, then you better not watch this clip posted by the Australian Reptile Park on the Facebook page! Yikes!

In all honesty, the Australian-based rescue habitat admitted that this image is the stuff of nightmares, but that they also love their new find. They posted the video of a funnel spider egg sack being cut open to show how the babies are born. What is disconcerting about the whole this is the overly haunting music they playfully added in the background during the funnel spider birth. Try singing the itsy, bitsy spider song now, we dare yah!

To add fuel to the flame, with the video being viewed over 750,000 times, there seems to be some serious masochists out there. Or some ferocious arachnophiles. To each their own.

The reactions from Facebook people are everything! They range from stuff like “My 4yr old though this was the BEST thing he has ever seen!!! and let’s face it, that’s pretty cool to watch!!” from one Elizabeth Hemmings, to “I like spiders and that freaks me out…” from Jenine Bunt McDermott. Of course, there are those who would rather burn them all before they, too, lay eggs, but they are too much to count.

The Australian Reptile Park hosts a multitude of drop-off points where people who are brave enough can safely capture one and take it to them. There, the park is able to carefully extract venom from the funnel spider, which they then use to produce antivenom in case of an incident.
