These are my thoughts on handling: I mainly want to handle a spider to overcome my fear I've held a chilian rose before so I'm confident I wouldn't freak and drop it.however from what I've now learned it's not great for the T and they don't get tame they just learn to tolerate handling and I guess eventually any spider will get annoyed with it, I've heard there was a book with a few pages about handling if I ever do decide to handle fang I don't think I will go poking it to make it move as this also stresses them out so I'd probably put my hand in the tank only to change water and maybe just keep my hand still if it's near but not too close to try get it used to me I would keep fair distance so I didn't scare it. who knows maybe one day it will approach me of it's own free will if it bites ( you could all say told you so OP) I'd have to hold still to not hurt it which with the pain could be fairly difficult and this is not fair on fang if I accidentally injure it Ive taken into account everyones advice and I am seriously re thinking this for now as I'm completely new to spider keeping
