seriously, I picked up a pair at a show and the guy who sold them to me handled both of them without a single rearing up???

Ive played with them at home, and I swear theyre just big orange Rose hairs.

Should they be this nice?

:eek: Even if they didn't show a threat pose, I'd be leery handling them just because of their quickness! One split second it could be up your arm, over your head, down your back, and lets just hope you're not showing any butt crack!:eek:

I have one that si that nice. She doesn't even have the usual OBT feeding response. She's a real doll, but I'm still pretty leary of her venom, so I don't handle her. But the guy at the pet store held her for a good 15 minutes before he put her in the box for me.

Sidenote: I will more than likely bring her to the Colorado Spider Party, if anyone there wants to hold her, feel free.

Some of them are docile at times...mine is one of them. She doesn't threaten me unless I mess up her web, and even then she calms fairly easily. She's actually a lot nicer than my rosie, :)

Every t is docile if you approach it right not to mention that every t has its own personality the biggest problem with some of them is if they feel threatend they may run before stand and fight "standing is easier to deal with then cowardice"
