[QUOTE="Oursapoil, post: 189414, member: 33266"] Good morning friend, It really depends on the Ts you have and what you are comfortable with. I handle a few of my tarantulas and so does my 9 years old son. This said, the handling is mostly for educational purpose and we try to minimize the frequency as much as possible. In general, the least you'll handle your Ts the better it is. If you are planning on doing so, please consider wearing gloves as most new world Ts have urticating hair (setae). Do is at close to the ground as possible and it is always a plus to put a cushy towel under you as some Ts are jumpy and you wouldn't want any to be armed by a fall. Hoping this helps, have a great day.[ATTACH type="full"]53662[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]53663[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
