[QUOTE="kormath, post: 89497, member: 4199"] I don't advise handling them at all, but it's your spider ;) If the fangs are black it can be fed and handled. the black fangs indicate the exoskeleton has hardened. I would strongly suggest feeding before handling. Just like any creature they'll be less aggressive or defensive if they've eaten. I always feed mine before i do cleaning,etc. i get less threat poses, or in the case of the A. genic less attacks on the tongs and water dish ;) So your dad has it backwards, feed first then handle [/QUOTE]
