Some german books concerning T's tell, that although A. seemanni has urticating bristles it wouldn't use it for defense it would rather bite. Strictly speaking, I can not agree to that statement. Mine kicks hairs, or better tries to (because all are already kicked :)), everytime I do something in the cage. I'm used to that now. The good thing is, that I do feel no irritation at all.
Her behaviour today was the extreme. I made kind of fotoshooting with her. Everything was fine till the time I wanted to egt her back in the delicup to put her back in the cage. She was like kicking hairs four or five times. Unfortunately she had no hairs left :D

That's funny, because mine's never kicked at all. Never even given threat posture. She's actually been the most docile T I've had thus far. The only reason I don't try to handle her is her speed. If she gets spooked she bolts (and usually runs into the glass LoL).
