[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 153995, member: 26980"] Pics of the spider would be most helpful. The expo guys use a dirty trick to handle. They simply cool down the tarantula to 50 or 60 degrees. Since your body is 98.6, the tarantula will just hang out absorbing the heat. This is what I call the selfie scorpion trick. Cooling the tarantula does have legitimate uses such as treating injuries or exceptionally difficult transfers. In any event, don't handle T stirmi!! See my bite report, T stirmi really jacks me up elsewhere on the forum. [ATTACH=full]38651[/ATTACH] A picture is worth a thousand words. See the bite reports section. [/QUOTE]
