Docile now , who knows in the future. I don’t handle them so be careful.Just my cyriopagopus lividus juvenile.
You got no context for that. Maybe OP is moving it from a cup at a reptile show into a nice enclosure.If you are going out of your way to dig that spider up just to hold it, it's just a matter of time and fact before you get a bite or you end up disturbing it while it's molting and kill it .
It would not surprise me if you have it housed in the most crappy enclosure possible either.
I've got what? Why don't you jump off whatever cliff your standing on the edge of .You got no context for that. Maybe OP is moving it from a cup at a reptile show into a nice enclosure.
I wouldn’t hold it, but someone holding a spider isn’t always a lack of understanding what the animal is
I have kept this species. I’m not condoning handling. I never said it was at a show. I know people who handle old worlds and bark scorpions despite having been bitten or stung and decades in the hobby. I’m just saying it happens. People handle cobras. Just because someone does something you or I think isn’t a good idea doesn’t mean they aren’t aware of the consequences. Maybe op knows maybe he doesn’t.I've got what?

Context my butt. I've got all the context in the world .
Who gives a toss what they are doing.
Do you notice at all how far along that spider is from molting? Have you kept this species of spider to realize that?
So you are condoning with handling spider's period?
And who the heck does that at a show?
You just drive the point home as to why this is a not hobby for everyone.
My friend. You are talking to a member who has several Cyriopagopus species and I have one that's well documented on here that's an adult female that I have feeding clips I will not post because she is just as chill as you say your's are . A bunch of others are typically what people have and not so chill.I leave the lid off mine for feeding, then come back when it's out. I guess if it was up there doing the walka-wave, it might be hard not to handle. So far it just sits there waiting for food though, it has no reason to leave its burrow. If it did, the conditions would probably need looking into...
Often visible, but I wouldn't say chill. Only spider I have that has threat posed me, turned right at me to do so, not the brush. I think if I didn't just leave it alone, it wouldn't seem so chill. And the feed response on these.. a finger close by? just no.My friend.

One out of about 60 or more.
Actually, "lividus" is in reference to the spider's bluish-silver coloration. Although yes, they are indeed angry!The name is literally LIVIDus. The person who named them must have thought "wow these spiders are sooo angry."
