They are not like your average pet.They don't benefit from it and are uncomfortable when in touch with human skin.Also they are not able to bond with you or in other words get used to being handled by you.While the so called more docile species will tolerate handling to some extent they dont like it and will try to avoid it .Its not worth the risk of losing your spider just so you can experience a thrill.Thats not what tarantula keeping is all about.Regards Konstantin</blockquote>
