[QUOTE="Thistles, post: 87516, member: 3949"] Yeah these are wild animals without even a proper brain. They run on instinct and are highly unpredictable. Not every spider on your skin is going to try to bite, but some will. The safest course is to avoid letting them get onto you! I said before that I haven't been bitten, but there have been a few occasions on which hotter spiders have managed to crawl onto me, and in one case, up my pajamas (I was new to the hobby and an Idiothele mira wasn't in her burrow like she was supposed to be!). If you're hesitant, I'd suggest getting a Psalmopoeus (my loves <3) or a Tapinauchenius (Psyrocke's loves, lol) so you get used to super speed. Psalms are generally more defensive than Poecs and Tappies, so they can be your super aggressive water snake stand in. [/QUOTE]
