Do you handle yours?

[Introvertebrate]

No. I was told it'd turn black & fall off if I did.

Great minds think alike? In 1991, this thread would have had all the makings of a Pee-wee Herman joke.

I really enjoyed Pee-Wee Herman he made me laugh. I remember him starting in the Cheech & Chong movies it was hilarious.

Such a shame the way he went down. I could care less and wanted him to continue on but it destroyed his career.

I agree. Pee-wee's Playhouse was the only Saturday morning show that adults could appreciate. Paul Reubens had some cool movie roles too, like the pot dealer in Blow (2001).

Unnecessary risk for both you and the tarantula.

It causes those unsightly bald spots in hair flickers too.

He did cameo's in a lot of movies. I also enjoyed the two movies he made "Big Adventure" and I think it was "Circus". Yes, I'm guilty I watched Pee-Wee's Playhouse and liked it.

Was "Blow" with Johnny Depp? I think I seen it if it's the one I think it was

It may cause hair loss for keepers too

Calling your tarantula ‘pet’ does not make it same as a dog or a cat.

Even considering to handle it is very dangerous as well as selfish act to take upon.

Tarantulas are to observe / monitor / care, NOT to handle / tame / domesticate.

No. There is zero benefit to handling them. It is purely for selfish reasons that people would. At best, the spider is uncaring and tolerates it. At worst, the spider can easily become fatally injured from a fall or mishandling, and a keeper could be bitten and need medical intervention.
