[QUOTE="prince charmless, post: 199190, member: 37452"] Brachypelmas and Nhandus can be hair kickers. Reseach urticating hairs and take common sense measures to avoid being "haired". If you have ever had poison ivy, That can give you an idea of the effects. Especially avoid inhaling them, or getting them in your eyes. That said, those species are popular for a reason. I have two adult N. Chromatus. Colorful, great feeding response and fiesty. The male is quick to give a threat pose or kick hairs. Working in his enclosure has caused me a number of days of itching, especially between my fingers. Washing your hands won't help, you just have to wait until it wears off, which can take several days to a week or so. Now whenever working in the enclosure of ... certain species, I always wear nitrile gloves. Problem solved. Urticating hairs are the primary reason I am mainly focused on old worlds and psalmopoeus species. Welcome to an addicting hobby. My suggestion? Buy shelves [/QUOTE]
