    In regards to the OP, I agree with whoever provided the most vague answer (ie. depends on the individual, etc)

    The T with the fewest bite reports seems to be the pink toes (Avic. avic.): http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/show...ria-avicularia

    Also, the bites seem to happen when people hand-feed crickets and the T then confuses a finger for food, or when the T is unbalanced and is trying to hang on/keep from falling off by using a fang. Personally, I've never seen an avic avic that wasn't docile

    Based on the bite reports, you have to be incredibly stupid and unlucky (at the same time) to be bit by an avic.

    In my experience, Aphonopelma chalcodes can't be beat for handling. The only thing mine's ever done negatively is poo in my hand once. And that was after about an hour's worth of handling during a presentation for children at a summer camp.

    That's what I was coming to say. I've only had A. chalcodes (this one I have now... maybe a chalcode? I'm not entirely sure her exact species yet as she looks a bit different than the A. chalcodes I had before, and I caught her in my yard vs bought from our local pet store). Anyway, she will walk onto your hand if you put it in her tank. Probably as a means to escape the tank, but still, very docile.

    The T that will be calm at the specific moment you decide to touch it. Might be a different individual every day....

    Never had any experience with terrestrial T's, but Avics in general are pretty docile, and not prone to bite. They are a bit flighty though.

    I have heard that A. Hentzi are quite the docile species.
