[QUOTE="Chubbs, post: 55145, member: 1084"] I hate to have to inform you of this but that doesn't really really work like that with invertebrates. These animals operate purely on instinct and they aren't animals that can be tamed or trained like a dog or cat. Many species are either highly defensive and/or skittish in addition to being very fast and some posess medically significant venom. You can't really do anything to change defensive behavior in tarantula, this is pretty much hardwired into their DNA. They're like this for a reason. If we take a look at some of the predators in their natural habitats, we may see why. [/QUOTE]
