[QUOTE="Nunua, post: 150496, member: 4947"] Well, to be honest, tarantulas do not understand the concept of petting and showing affection. Even if they don't mind about it, doesn't mean they enjoy it. The most likely explanation is that they're just tolerating it like any other unnecessary disturbance that's not threatening their lives - That's also why your E. murinus "relaxed" after you tried again. She didn't know what you we're doing, only that she wasn't in imminent danger. [/QUOTE]
