[QUOTE="Spidro, post: 20631, member: 2405"] Thanks man \m/ I've certainly been happy with her. I've only handled her once, had her walk over my hand a couple times to just to get used to me. I think handling them is all about feeling their moods and having no fear. If u show fear and move too quick or are shaking or anything, they'll get ya, they don't like that lol. And I think the first bite will be the scariest, i haven't gotten bit either yet hahaha. But I didn't buy these guys to handle them, and they're actually happier left alone. Good advice, don't handle them if your not comfortable, good chance you'll get bit or injure your spider. If you must, take baby steps, poke his back legs move him around, just poke him in general. Get him used to you and you used to him. That's how I started with my Haitian until one day she got tired of me poking her, climbed right out of her tank and I had no choice but to handle her. You'll find what works, or come to realize that some tarantulas might just be pretty decorations lol. Cheers! \m/ [/QUOTE]
