Do Avicularias become more calm when they grow up?!

[QUOTE="Agno, post: 79251, member: 4227"] As my first T I got an Avicularia Versicolor considering that I have no prior experience with Ts and many suggested that (and also because I like her very much). Unlike all I've seen and read, that Avics are generally very calm, mine doesn't seem to be. She's skittish a lot (I reckon that everyone of them must have their personalities). I got her when she was L1 and now she's around L7 I think. Everytime I move her enclosure a bit, she goes rampant and runs around, enters her web that after few minutes gets out again. I haven't held her in my hand ever because she's been so small and I was afraid of her falling or hurting herself. Now that she has grown a bit bigger, I'd like to take her on my hand occasionally but I'm suspicious! I slightly touched one of her hind legs with my tweezers. She pulled her leg slowly and turned around 360 degrees to face the spot where she was touched. Than I touched her again and she rotated quickly and attacked the tweezer -.-' So....was wondering (I'm not even sure if she's a female), is there a difference between male/female temperament? And, do they become calmer when they grow up? Should I interact with her more in order for her to get used? Her enclosure is a bit boring. Lots of empty space apart from some twigs and her web-home. Does this affect her? Looking forward to your response guys! Thanks [/QUOTE]
