[QUOTE="Atx13, post: 12580, member: 380"] L.parahybana are far from a handling species... I'd honestly say avoid P.murinus, until you get over the need to interact with your Ts... Not trying to be rude, but being lax at all around P.murinus can be the difference in a trip to the hospital, as their bite is one of the worst.. I'm usually all for people getting into OW, but based on you looking for "docile" Ts, id say avoid them for the time being.. A good "handling" T would be a B.albopilosum, i've yet to see a pissy one. A.versicolor... They're not to be handled, of the 3 adult females ive owned in my years of keeping, they tend to be a little more "bitey" than other Avics, and are way to skittish, the risk of hurting the T is just to great to make it worth risking. With that being said, it really falls on you as the keeper, to decide whats right for you.. IF you have gathered all the information you can, without owning the species, go for it. :) [/QUOTE]
