[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 186116, member: 29323"] Apparently one of my T's, a female Grammostola porteri, used to owned by someone who did shows where she charged groups to go in & allow them to handle her T's. Or that is what I was told by it's last owner. Personally I don't handle, but, occasionally a couple of my T's do climb onto my hand. My normal practice is to place my hand to stop my T's, or many of them, from climbing out of their enclosures. Most T's reach the top of their enclosure, find your hand & stay there, or retreat. But a couple do occasionally see it as an offer & climb onto my hand & are then returned to their enclosure. [/QUOTE]
