Sometimes you might have to get a little persuasive. Paintbrush or a slight little breath of air can do the trick. Little story: My Harpactira Pulchripes water bowl needed cleaning and she thinks the paintbrush is food and jumps. Startled she retreated. But as I was tearing the webbing away she came back and started touching with her front two legs! She was curious. No threat posing just curiosity. One of the sweetest,coolest things I have done with one of my old worlders. Not a lot of my OW T's I would have trusted but she is a real sweetheart! .</p></blockquote><p></p>
