My learning experience was with a Cyriopagopus albostriatus using either long tongs or a paint brush. As I gently & slowly tried to persuade her from postal container to new home, she went from calm & relaxed to full on attack mode in a millisecond. There was no warning, no defensive posture. She just flew up the tweezers/brush at lightning speed & attempted to bite me. Fortunately she missed.Not all T's are defensive, some are just plain aggressive & give no warning of the impending attack. Oh & I use long bamboo tweezers, I do have metal ones, but I prefer something softer, warmer, than metal.
