[QUOTE="kaz, post: 55099, member: 3737"] oh boy. Most people on here will tell you, you cannot tame a tarantula and further more shouldn't really hold it. That's personal choice, I don't hold mine have done and probably will on the odd occasion. However people will say that any time you hold the tarantula it will be like its first each and every time. Personally I don't agree. I think they've been around along time and are well adapt and have the capability to learn to some degree there for over Time being aware or getting used to your presence perhaps to some degree. Again people have mixed opinions but who really knows no ones really a tarantula. Id just say if you really want to hold it start when its bigger at least a couple of inches. When their small their fast and probably easier lost! I wouldn't risk it but that's my opinion!!! also if you plan to handle them id suggest learning and reading about their threat posture etc so that if you do go to hold it your have a better indication and knowledge of understanding when your tarantula is warning you to back off.
