Hello Ryan
That's the only problem with handling these T's, some are so fast and skittish which in turn could cause them to jump and so on and injure themselves. I won't lie, I myself handle mine every now or then. So I can't judge anyone doing it, and I never will its a risk we all take.

Got an updated pic anyway.
She was obviously feeling a little weary whilst handling, so brought out her poop cannon.
Saying that she definately isn't insecure or lacking in self belief though and was jumping from hand to hand.

They do tend to give short bursts of speed and are prone to jumping.
While handling mine now, she jumped from my hand to the floor. Quite different to what I have noticed with pokies though. Pokies tend to roll into a ball whereas this Avic spreads it's legs and catches some air.

Handle some Pokies ppl ha ha

If I can grow accustomed to the pokie, I'd probably do that haha. In all seriousness,I did a rehouse and was forced at fang point to handle one. Luckily no injury to me, the T I suspect had a good laugh.

 

[Ceratogyrus]

Handled most of my pokies accidentally.

I've handled all Pokes except P miranda as too aggressive

 

[Nada]

I handle nothing.. ever. I treat my tarantulas like land fish... to each their own though.

I'm not worried about the bite, I'm worried I will react the wrong way due to a involuntary natural reaction and hurt the T. I wouldn't forgive myself, when I've grown more accustomed to the pokies maybe then. You guys have had them a while, so know the ins and outs I'm still learning of this genus. So in all honesty, well done in the future I might be able to say the same.

Anyway, back to the Avics. Anyone that would like to add more Avic pics ? I love comparing the specimens in the hobby, also just seeing them is awesome.

Haha, nice very nice Avic Versi color.

 

[Martin Oosthuysen]

I want to see a lot of Avic types displayed from all over, like the sp. Peru purple Metallica and some others to compare what's actually in the hobby. All other Avics as well, I shouldn't just say those few names only.

 

[entomology]

There are no recorded deaths from a tarantula bite, but that does not mean it can't happen. One could die as a result of anaphylaxis or envenomation from a " bite" depending on how your body reacts to the venom

Nice Versi there nada
