I have better control of the arachnids while they are in my hands, and they feel as safe but less defensive than if they were in web or enclosure. They get familiar with my hands as being a neutral surface to walk and grip, and when I touch prod or guide them with the fingers and hands already providing their familiar surface, they usually remain calm and follow my guidance, without getting spooked, and it's just fun for me, and spider gets to explore. Almost the same with snakes and lizards. On the other hand, Scorpions and centipedes are a bit more unpredictable but I can manage.
