[QUOTE="Martin Oosthuysen, post: 24926, member: 1070"] Hello With specimens like those,I use enclosures that have lockable lids. Since in my opinion any T that escapes to who knows where,is an environmental issue. If 1 loses a T,no huge issue ? The problem is,one becomes two multiplied by the amount of people in the hobby. As for handling,I have handled T's would I encourage or suggest it for someone else ? No,since not everyone reacts the same. They could be dropped etc,and not only that handler gets bitten. Especially younger people this is an issue,since their parents would blame the hobby or specimen. Thus creating more bridges for this hobby to cross,and longer time and more resources to change perception. If I do get into such a situation, I usually try another route like paint brush catch cup etc. Lastly I will employ myself and get the enclosure closer,the biggest thing stay calm even if it's readying to bite since this is where mishaps occur. BIGGEST RULE STAY CALM ! [/QUOTE]
