She is reasonably laid back & easy to work with. But some of my other, smaller Theraphosa are certainly feisty & most are impressive eaters & as Arachnoclown said, fater than you think. If buying slings, be prepared to end up with a male, as a larger percentage of Theraphosa slings seem to turn out male, than with any other species I have owned. Oh & as Theraphosa get larger, be prepared to get hissed at. It is called Stridulation & can be heard from several feet away.Flick before her last molt.[ATTACH=full]61170[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
