Message: <blockquote data-quote="Martin Oosthuysen" data-source="post: 26324" data-attributes="member: 1070">Tarantulas have been classified by many keepers under the following- aggressive meaning they'd actually come for you- defensive when approached,rear up show fangs etc- skittish,when approached scurry away with bursts of speed.- docile,no apparent reaction just carries on normally.New worlds that tend to be aggressive,the Hatian Brown would actually come for you without provocation. Old worlds,obt have been said to be aggressive feather leg which I have would actually come for you and cobalt blue which I Also have has displayed that behavior. These observations have been seen over many specimens under the average behavior, but individuality is also very possible. Since many keepers have seen opposite behavior from same species as well, so anything is possible but average shows otherwise.</blockquote>
