[QUOTE="Rs50matt, post: 140854, member: 27872"] I said didn't make sense. I didn't go into it all because I couldn't be bothered so I stuck to my main point. This is one other point. Please don't make me go into more because I'm on my phone and it takes a while to narrow down the post to get the section I want :). you can know a lot about horses and not ride them. Likewise you can tell a lot about how your tarantula will react to handling without picking it up. I am 100% positive that if I put my hand in the enclosure with my N chromatus I will get bitten. I don't need to continually try and pick her up to tell you this. I've never tried to pick her up and I'm sure as hell never going to. Whereas my e campestratus is a lot calmer and would probably be possible to handle her but why do it because you can? No benefit to her and as far as I'm concerned she is safe in her enclosure and not at any risk so why take her out and risk it? That doesn't mean I know nothing about my chromatus and I'll magically know more if I pick her up. [/QUOTE]
