Tarantulas don't necessarily enjoy being held, they tolerate it (some, anyway). That being said, you could encourage her by gently touching the back of her abdomen. The more docile species tend to move away from pressure, so lightly touching the back of her abdomen would most likely move her forward. Congrats on your first T!</p></blockquote><p></p>
