They all just kind of eat, and sit there. Not very exciting behavior.  They poop. They make web. Sometimes theyre defensive, like when you pick them up, and they get scared. Most folks treat them like fish, no holding or petting. But you can hold them safely, if they let you. If they don't let you, you may get bitten for forcing the issue. Sometimes nice ones turn mean. Sometimes mean ones turn nice. Lol, hope this helps.</p></blockquote><p></p>
