Everyone has a different opinion and I think we should all respect each other's opinions. If you don't want to handle your pet you don't have to. It's your pet. But if you do want to then you can. Again. It's your pet. Lots of people have different opinions on al animals so we all just have to respect others decisions <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> I do believe that it stresses them if done often but I don't believe that it should be totally out of the picture. Yes they can bite you but so can your dog. Doesn't keep you from petting your dog if you want to! Everyone has different views <img src="http://www.tarantulaforum.com/images/tarantulasmiley.jpg"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":T:" title="Tarantula Smiley    :T:" data-shortname=":T:" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
