I am torn between handing and not handling my spiders. I fear that I will accendently injure one, but I also would love to handle them.
I feel the burden of such a powerful doubt and question as well, my new virtual friend but, bit of solace, consider that there's people out there torn between 'eating or not eating tomorrow', so let's praise together Frank Capra, because our life is, yes... indeed 'Wonderful'I am torn between handing and not handling my spiders.

Wow... That explains a lot! I'll have to tell that to my green bottle blue tonight. Shakespider!To handle - or not to handle?
That is the question.
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The woes and sorrows of an unpettable pet,
Or to lay hands upon that hairy spider
And by mere holding, risk him. To bite - to fall -
To fall, perchance to die - ay, there's the rub:
For in that fall to ground what wounds may come?
When he has shuffled off this mortal coil
Do we then pause - was it well worth
The cost that took your spider from this earth?
(Sorry - spent the afternoon at a dress rehearsal for my son's upcoming performance in A Midsummer Night's Dream. Guess I've got Shakespeare on the brain!)
Your animal gains nothing from handling, but is put at risk if you attempt it. So why do it? With that being said.... If you choose to attempt to handle them, do so in a safe manner to minimize fall and escape risk. Personally, I wouldn't do it. My ego or enjoyment is not worth their life.I am torn between handing and not handling my spiders. I fear that I will accendently injure one, but I also would love to handle them.
This again, how long do you have to be in the hobby to realized that handling is a bad idea; also it makes T owners looks like stuntmen or daredevils.I am torn between handing and not handling my spiders. I fear that I will accendently injure one, but I also would love to handle them.
