[QUOTE="Oursapoil, post: 207067, member: 33266"] There are no "friendly" tarantula ;) but A. geniculata is one of the less defensive species although they won't hesitate to dust when bothered and the big girls have a lot of hair! My thoughts on handling (I do handle of few of my Ts for educational purpose in a school setting) is that if it is not needed the T will be better of in her enclosure. The T won't get anything from being held except the risk of falling and getting hurt or killed. Needless to say that getting urticating hairs in your nose, throat or eyes can be extremely painful (the eyes are the most dangerous). Adding as well a picture of my mature female for you to see :)[ATTACH type="full"]62493[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
