I can literally tear down a filthy web when he's in it and he won't even move.  He'll walk down to the bottom of the cage and obediently wait for me to finish my work in the corner until I'm done.If I pulled a stunt like that around my Versicolor, a major freak out would ensue.If I did that around my L klugi, she would declare total war upon the tongs. (I chase her into her hide before doing maintenance first.)It's a shame that my pokie turned out to be male. When he matures, I'm totally gonna send him out to a breeder. The calmness is something that would probably be inherited by the slings.Of course, I still take all precautions, ski mask to not breathe on him, being in a sterilite within the bathtub, needle stick proof police gloves etc.If I do my part and move s-l-o-w-l-y, it's actually kinda boring.</blockquote>
