Since a young person not well informed could get one and handle it or try,I believe in giving all opinions and accounts that's why I said some specimens could act differently. No one is trying to paint them bad,I have them as well. Saying some T's are defensive, I can disagree since they may argue they are defending their burrow etc but they defend it how ? Aggressively. Look at poecilotheria,you know this genus well people have called them aggressive I disagree they are more skittish than anything else. So I'm only saying certain ones should be handled with extreme care.(not actual handling, but general things like feeding cage maintenance etc)</p></blockquote><p></p>
