Hey, Everyone!
So I'm going to apologise now, I don't know if this is the right place for this post as I am very new. If something is wrong, please let me know!
I found myself the proud owner of a Goliath Bird Eating Spider about a month ago. He's (I don't actually know the sex, just picked one until I'm told otherwise haha) been doing well so far! He's been eating and he's got some room to roam if he wants, or hiding places if he prefers, and he does both!
My question is whether they can be handled, or are better left alone? I've done a lot of reading and found the definitive answer of both. So I was curious of what you think.
I am well acquainted with handling anything from dogs/cats to snakes, frogs, hamsters, bird, and even sharks. But this is a first for me and don't want to mess it up!
