I don't really like to handle my Ts, personally, but if something you enjoy doing, you just have to read her body language.. I've had tarantulas that are suppose to be extremely aggressive that would crawl on my hand without any issues, and have had "docile" ones that would like nothing better than to make my hand their next meal.. just have to pay attention to their behavior. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
