[QUOTE="Oursapoil, post: 187111, member: 33266"] My best advice, do not handle this one!!!!!!! If you need to rehouse it or clean the tank, use a cup to move her around. Put the cup on top of it then slowly slide a lid under it to take her out. Put gloves on as everything in the enclosure will have urticating hairs on it (you won't see them). The Theraphosa species has the worst urticating hairs, the blondi hairs being second only to the aphosysis and they do not hesitate to flick some at will, especially smaller ones (my big girl will put on a threat posture that makes you consider signing a will). I love both my blondi and aphosysis, they are some of my favorite Ts but the very last ones I would try to handle. Break a leg! [/QUOTE]
