[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 183547, member: 29323"] I would personally add Cyriopagopus albostriatus to any list of not beginner friendly. When I got mine, an adult female, it happily sat in its transport tub looking relaxed & unconcerned. It even had room to move around & looked really chilled. But when I tried to very gently persuade it out of that transport container it went from relaxed to full attack mode in milliseconds. It gave no threat posture, no warnings at all. It just flew up the tweezers I was using to move the moist kitchen roll out of the way, I had not even touched it!! It then laid on it's back, holding the tweezers & ready to attack again. After the tweezers were finally removed it gave the hello, nice to meet you wave below. [IMG]https://www.tarantulaforum.com/media/cyriopagopus-albostriatus.10125/full[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
