[QUOTE="Nada, post: 24305, member: 361"] First and foremost, it is important to know that your tarantula will never get used to you, and can not be tamed. That said, like everything else in life, handling is fine in moderation. Handling daily, or even weekly is detrimental to your tarantula, it causes stress, risks the tarantulas life, and keeps it from getting settled. Slings imo, should never be handled for fun. It's just to dangerous. If you take anything out of this, take this; be responsible... Don't handle something that doesn't want to be handled, don't fight nature, work with it. learn to read your tarantulas body language, and go from there. [/QUOTE]
