But okay I just see so many people on videos and tv that hold Ts, and I even know people that have T's and hold them sometimes. And I do have bark and substrate in the tank, its Eco Earth Coconut Fiber Substrate (the block kind). I will definitely be very cautious of holding him unless it's a absolute must right now.  But I can't promise that I won't get curious and want to hold him.  And I've heard that some T's can be more tolerant and "ok" with being held here and there than others.  Like the Chilean Rose, Mexican Red Knee and a P. Metallic like mine, I've held him once and he was okay. But I also understand that at any second that could change and he can bite.</p></blockquote><p></p>
