As you have already discovered they appreciate a quiet life but if you want to handle her make  sure it is somewhere safe where she cant fall if she does panic and scarper. Many people frown upon handling as t's are fragile but my oldest rose (delilah) enjoys sitting on my lap and makes it clear she does not want to go back in her enclosure at bed time. She is so sweet and lovely i think she should be allowed to have her own way most of the time at her age as long as she is safe. With haning i always let the spider come to me if they are scared or aggressive i leave it. A lot  of the rose hairs i have owned have been bold and quite nosey! Mine are called delilah ramases tsunami money spider rapunzel and coppellia</p></blockquote><p></p>
