Hi
be careful with exposure to urticating setae (hairs) from any tarantula species and take precautions as while you not feeling it now with time and with multiple exposures it is possible to get worse no matter how mild is atm.Unlike with other things that with multiple exposures we build immunity with urticating hairs is quite the opposite it gets worse and there are some people in the hobby that can't keep new world tarantulas at all(or at least some species with nastier hairs )as they had developed sensitivity and bad reactions.
Regards Konstantin
