Rosea are as docile as they come, although my Genic is very greedy, so I wouldn't trust putting my exposed hands near her (plus, although she never flicks hair, they have some or the worst uricating hairs).My other terrestrials are only slings or juveniles, but so far my G. Actaeon seems very docile (just casually walks away when I open the tub), my LP is skittish, but would rather run, my B. Boehmei treats everything entering his tub as potential food (I had him grabbing and pulling at the tweezers when I tried to empty his water dish from substrate).I wouldn't worry too much about them being docile or not unless you are insistent on handling, after all they are spiders and not dogs or Guinea Pigs (although I've never met a friendly GP neither, lol) <img src="http://www.tarantulaforum.com/images/tarantulasmiley.jpg"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":T:" title="Tarantula Smiley    :T:" data-shortname=":T:" />.</blockquote>
