[QUOTE="Atx13, post: 3243, member: 380"] Are you trying to handle him? I dont really advise it, with any tarantula.. a fall of even 6" inches or so could really harm your little guy, i just cant justify the risk myself.. But if you really want to, nudge him with something soft to see how he reacts... if he gives you a threat display, runs, is overly jumpy or kicks hairs at you, best bet would be to let him be. If after nudging him a little, he just kinda walks away from it, you can try putting your hand down and nudging him on your hand( in his cage), and just letting him walk around on it. Even in the event of him seeming docile doesn't guarantee you wont get bit... Hope that helps, look forward to seeing some pics of your new T! :) [/QUOTE]
