That site left too much to the imagination as to how they collect the spider venom. Or is it from a dissection to collect the entire venom containing organ?

Was also smirking that the snake venom collection the visuals were either of a person wearing no gloves or easily punctured latex.

They antagonise the funnel-web until it begins striking and the venom is dripping from its fangs, and then they use a liquid dropper to suck that venom up. It is wild.

Here's a video of the place near where I live doing it: https://youtube.com/watch?v=tN-mHIXoXlQ
