Exactly! The tiny ones cause me much stress.
the tiny ones are my favorite ;) I don't get nervous when they come out to say hi like i do handling the larger ones when they take a walk during maintenance. I had my ~2" B. albo out this last weekend to redo his substrate and held him. He was calm and just sat there, until my hand started to sweat and he didn't like that much :oops: Seems most of my fear is gone except for the uncontrollable aspects like that.

I'm pretty much over my fear of spiders too now, I don't flinch if a sling walks onto my hand although I've not handled a big one yet except my P. met when her viv got smashed and I scooped her off the floor before the cat got her without even thinking about what I was doing..
