[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 120917, member: 26980"] My opinion is that it's best not to do so without a compelling reason. In that case, especially with my scorpion, I lower her body temperature to about 50 degrees first to halt any aggression. I only had to do this once to remove a string stuck in her mouth and tangled around 2 legs. Someone was trying to "go fishing" and she probably chopped the string off effortlessly. Even if the T isn't biting or adopting a threat posture, the hairs really bother some people. Any critter can also just be having a bad day, which makes you have a bad day if you handle without realizing it. [/QUOTE]
