Starting out....

[Kiki_Lyks_Bugs]

My name is Victoria! And for my first T I got an Arizona Blonde... But I'm having a real hard time handling her.. She has bitten me twice and I'm curios to know if anyone has any handling tips... How should I make her more conformable with being held and how can I "Fix" her habit of biting me? I don't know if I should just let her be or if I can get her used to being held..... PLEASE HELLLP!

Hi Victoria.
First, and others will agree, Ts are treated like fish in an aquarium. They are a "look but don't touch" animal. Handling only stresses them, and a fall from a short distance can be fatal.
Look in the "Bite Report" section on here, most bites are from handling.
Thankfully you have been bitten by a "low venom" NW species. Had it been an OW species, the outcome might have ended in a trip to the emergency room. You invaded its home and it feels threatened, instinct dictates "flee or bite".
Best advice is don't handle your T.

Hello and welcome. Tarantulas are programmed to bite when threatened, when handled they feel threatened. There is nothing to fix except for your desire to handle her. Beautiful T you have there!

@Therasoid it did end up in a Hospital visit... I found out that I'm very allergic to the venom... Makes me so sad cause I want to hold my T!
@HungryGhost Thank you! She's a lot of fun to look at my little brother and sister love watching her eat! She tares the crickets apart!
And for the both of you thank you for the advice... What I got out of it was give her a min to adjust to her surroundings and than just practice holding her and give her all the loving she needs

ORRR just not hold her at all... Is there any species you'd guys recommend for me to start out with?
