[QUOTE="Sabeth, post: 25016, member: 545"] My only experience losing a T didn't have a happy ending. Several months ago my first A. geniculata sling escaped through one of its ventilation holes and I never found it. :( Leah's suggestions are excellent. Your docile P. cancerides sounds like a rare individual! Though all species have their "norms", every so often you come across one that doesn't live up to its reputation. As long as your T is okay with handling, my opinion is, it's okay to handle. Tarantulas are unusual in that their personalities can and do change, sometimes on a day-to-day basis, sometimes with every molt. I would say, run it by your tarantula and get his opinion first. :) [/QUOTE]
