[QUOTE="MassExodus, post: 137035, member: 4086"] Every new world species in my collection, except some of the SA giants with huge fangs. I didn't want any nerve damage from 1/2" to 3/4 inch fangs, and didn't want them harming themselves jumping out of my hand. Handled species: wow this will take time, lol, hmm..A. avic, G rosea, G porteri, MM Lasiodora parahybana(on several occasions) GBB MM, my G pulchra sling that used to charge me and then think better of it, now a very slow growing juvie female, both of my Poecis, (by accident), and a Euathlus sp. Tiger who I regret selling, she was an absolute sweety, like the Lp male. Remember, all tarantulas are individuals. They also have bad days, weeks or months regularly. They're not unpredictable, they let you know if they dont want to be held, but that can change very fast for no reason you can identify. Touch a back leg..DISCLAIMER: My experience with handling may be unique, I have no basis for comparison. A G pulchra reaches 6" if I remember correctly. A six inch tarantula has fangs large enough to cause nerve and muscle damage in humans. Handle at you're own risk. They don't get used to handling, they don't form a bond with you. They cannot be tamed or taught. They get used to conditions, not keepers. You could very well recieve a painfull bite from a docile tarantula, at ANY time. Some of us are bold. Sometimes we pay for it. :D [/QUOTE]
