Message: <blockquote data-quote="kormath" data-source="post: 67233" data-attributes="member: 4199">I've only had an A. versicolor for a few weeks now.  But she's much more calm an relaxed than the GBB we've had almost a year now.  The GBB has recently become skittish even for my son, who used to be able to handle her without any problems.  Anytime the KK is opened if the enclosure is nudged even the slightest bit she darts into her web tunnel.  Dropping roaches in on her web brings an attack, usually at the tongs rather than the roach lol.  But then she'll realize her mistake and it's really fun to watch her attack the roaches.The A. versicolor only moves when i mist the enclosure, then she'll go get a drink.  Picking it up removing the roaches she's ignored the last few weeks doesn't seem to bother her at all.  She just sits in her web and watches.  By far the most calm spider I have</blockquote>
