It's a personal choice and the rust is tours to take so before you handle are you willing to suffer the consequences?! Always just keep it in mind!! I too handle my T's and I handle P regalis, P metallica, P subfusca, P  smithi etc etc an each day the moods are different so always take caution to the wind before attempting and remember they are all unpredictable and most ppl that get bitten is when they breath over the tarantula or talk an when it runs leave it don't cut it off or else u will find out the hard way.  Always try babe someone with just incase h do get " nailed" I know we don't like to think of it and tarantulas have causes no human fatalities to date, but I always say I or you might be the first. In this thread I'm not scaring you, but merely bringing you up to speed on what can happen, but Chaco are awesome T's have bred out a few already very beautiful T and I hope u have many years of fun together</p></blockquote><p></p>
