Message: <blockquote data-quote="VanessaS" data-source="post: 79372" data-attributes="member: 4948">Thanks guys!  I see a lot written about L. parahybana, but nearly nothing for difficilis.  I don't want to assume that they act the same unless people confirm that.  I looked everywhere online for some idea.I get a lot of temperament information when I watch YouTube videos.  Unfortunately, I think that there are a lot of idiots out there who provoke their tarantulas into attacking for the shock factor and it doesn't give an accurate portrayal of their real temperament.  I watched a couple of Jon3800's videos and his L. difficilis seems to be very laid back.  He even took her moult out and everything and she didn't seem to care. She was full grown.As for those asshats out there purposely provoking their tarantulas to get videos of them being angry - I hope they all get bitten because they deserve it.</blockquote>
