Soooo I have seriously lucked out and found a 4" B.Smithi for $50 with the cage and everything in it, HAD to get her. I am fairly new to the T trade. my first tarantula is a G.pulchripes, but I got it when the lil guy was the size of a dime. My question is: has anybody had any reports of the B.Smithis being super skittish at this size?? I want to take her out to clean her nasty cage (previous owner never cleaned it) but she will flit from one end of the cage to the other like super crazy!! Is this normal? This is my first time having a T this size...i heard they were docile. Any opinions or experiences would help!</p></blockquote><p></p>
