So I just let them be, when there out and about and active is when I handle mine, but still very cautiously.  My Pink Toe Aragon is extremely calm and docile and will tolerate me handling him when I do.  But I would never test or push his limits the way this jerk did in the video, Tarantulas don't like to be pricked and poked at and rubbed.  If you never handled your T at all, he/ she wouldn't care or even notice the difference lol.  But I enjoy the interaction with these amazing creatures<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
