I see people on YouTube doing it and they make it look so easy. If I gently try to get my grammostola porteri to go forward with either tweezers or paint brush she jumps, I try to let her know I'm there so she doesn't get a sudden shock of being touched on the back leg but she does it everytime. From what I've seen most just go forward and go where you want them to go but she seems very jumpy.</blockquote>
