The spiders are more afraid and just get still, and don't even bugger about when I'm feeding them. They've never tried to come at me, or even escape. My garden spider is like a devilish looking angel. They're surprisingly easy as long as...well I call it a knack, or experience....different ways to explain it, it comes natural to me. I'm certainly logically cautious...like, I'm not worried at all over ever getting bit by my black widow...I just don't do risky things.  I wear gloves that their fangs couldn't hope to penetrate if I think for a second they might actually make a move on me, but in my years of doing this...they never have. I think out of them all the wolf spider will be the most challenging. The web spiders...act like i'm not even there.  Like this is my first T, I can tell you now, spiders are WAY easier.  AND T's aren't even hard!!!  My Praying Mantis's give me the most grief. They are fast, and always try to get out. *shrugs*  Lol.  I guess it is just second nature to me.  Been taking care of spiders for....at least 6 years, Praying mantis' 2 years, and now my T. And more T's to come!!!!!!!  The more the merrier!!!!  Lol, All my 8 legged children.</p></blockquote><p></p>
