While cleaning the waterdish, a very loud bang occurred on the floor above me.The tarantula bolted and ran right over the shelf. I caught her in mid air saving her life. When I got her back into her enclosure, she was pissed turned around and tagged me.My other hand also got haired and was in just as much or more pain then the one actually bitten.A T stirmi that LIKES to be handled is probably more trouble then one that doesn't.I should've worn the gloves I use when I anticipate the chance handling might occur.</blockquote>
