Message: <blockquote data-quote="MassExodus" data-source="post: 61571" data-attributes="member: 4086"><p>My only actively aggressive spider is my G pulchripes. He's almost gotten me a few times, I've never seen a spider behave like him. I have several docile spiders, the most docile being probably the big male Lp I got on a breeding loan. I've held him several times. In fact most of the more tolerant spiders I've run into were mature males, who seem to have other business on their mind and can't be bothered to get defensive with me. This guy crawled out of the packaging and right onto my hand when he arrived. Something I wouldn't recommend, as they can get stressed in the mail and a little bitey. He's never shown an ounce of aggression or even skittishness.</p></blockquote><p></p>
