What species?They burrow at first but when they molt into the adult colors, you get the adult behavior.As they get older, Lasiodora species will spend more time in plain sight then practically any critter. Even my cat hides more often then my L klugi.I wouldn't handle them. The urticating hairs are horrible. The T might not mind, but you will. They also have a powerful feeding response. If it moves, it's dinner.... including you and your hands!!They are neither aggressive not defensive, just very pouncy, kinda like a 4 month old kitten chasing a string that never grows up in that one way.</blockquote>
