[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 138806, member: 26980"] If they are defensive, don't do it. I have handled a PZB before and it was totally chilled out, seemed not to care at all. Still, tarantulas are individuals and growth rates as well as attitude can differ greatly. They also change when they molt as well with frequency of feeding and temperature. Sometimes a feeding response can be mistaken for being defensive. Of course, that doesn't matter if you get tagged!! If they attack the waterdish when you fill it, then you're got a feeding response most likely. [/QUOTE]
