Just held my T for first time!

New to the hobby. Bought a Arizona blonde that has been super docile. Had to change its enclosure and let it crawl on my hand and it just sat like a rock, magical feeling. I was super nervous since im new but i was willing to risk a bite to help rehome the little guy.

For future reference, most members (regardless of forum) do not recommend handling, as there is always the possibility of the tarantula turning on the jets which could lead to fall. A catch cup, paint brush and or a straw are vital.

I like this idea, but I feel it's best if the old enclosure fits in the new one.

I still can't spell pterinochilus murinus, and it took me 3 weeks to learn how to spell harpactira pulchirpes. Sweet Jesus, Latin. I got my first T's a week ago.

A tip for those who have problems spelling species names I still use copy and paste a lot for them to make sure I get the spelling right. I find just seeing those names written correctly helps remember their spellings.
