To me they pose as a extreme disadvantage if you need to react an grab a catch cup or a paint brush, tongs...ect. The bite ain't going to kill you...no one has ever died from a pokie bite. I would never bother owning a T that I would have to be in fear of. Not saying your in fear but you go to extreme levels to prevent anything to happen. That's not a bad thing. Are you sure your not a risk analysts for a insurance company??? Seriously though in all the years I've kept these creatures I've never had to wear gloves other than latex for Theraphosa and a few Brachypelma sp.</p></blockquote><p></p>
