Not looking to handle so your mentioning they step onto you is a good warning against my freaking out should it happen. I actually had a Day Gecko jump on me & escape while cleaning their viv. But didn't think to expect it from a tarantula.Not to start a feud here, but you mentioned slings you've raised: did you routinely let them on you or no?  I can't imagine my sling being too comfortable w/ the process.  I'm mostly content to leave them be as I do the fish & geckos but the urge to have them out sometimes strikes.</blockquote>
