Handling gentile Pokies & sweet Pterrors :)

[Pandora]

At first my fav sweet Pter and orange ruffian

My honey Pterror, you are mine
Who I had dare to tame so easy.
I never felt myself so fine,
Though I am maybe going crazy!

Pokiessss

My gentile Pokies in my hands,
You are my little motley friends!

 

[xgrafcorex]

heh you are crazy! i guess if they are very calm its not to bad, but i wouldn't let my guard down for half a split second...though i'd probably just be happy they aren't going to try and eat me when i do maintenance and just let them stay inside their home. my ornata would flip out if i tried to pick it up..and my obts are small and just run and hide (not that i've tried)

I second that, you are crazy!

Just promise you'll share photos and fill out a bite report *if* you do get bitten. I would find that equally entertaining.

That P. murinus RCF is very good-looking! You got balls to handle those species

 

[Pandora]

I just had edited my first post. Look at that and you'll understand

I tame my Pterrors during the year almost every day, they don't try to bite me.
I take Pokies very carefully only during photo-sessions for a short time.

Nate, I promise

Dangerous, but very beautiful pictures of very nice spiders :worship:

You are insane for handling those T's, great pic of your P. Ornata though.:clap:

 

[Scolopendra55]

Your very brave to be holding those species! Great looking ornata by the way

I think the photos are nice , I have no opinion about handling, I used to be extreme against it, and now I tolere it...

But I dont think BRAVE is the good word. I been in the middle of a debate myself because i posted this kind of picture and I realised a lot of thing about it.

 

[Pandora]

I had seen error in the second post and had corrected it, now there are two different Pokies photos. Forgive me my carelessness

I don't want hereupon got big debate, I want that participants of the forum just enjoy this beautiful and unusual photos.
Thanks for all

[Pandora]

My nice beastys in threat pose.
I don't put my fingers to them at this moment to been not bitten off.

 

[CedrikG]

You did'nt just played with them a little to make them angry ? :?

Anyway, from what i've observed, they can be very defensive in their territory, but they're much more docile out their environment. Wich does'nt remove their unpredictable behavior.

:? Have you lost it completely?

j/k I must admit, youve got big ones!

 

[common spider]

My OBT is just flat out nutty!There is no way in hell I would even touch it let alone hold it.

Kirdec,
I have 7 Pterrors with a differents tempers. NCF in this photo is very aggressive spider unlike to mine other tamed Pterrors. So I shouldn't even play with him, I just blow for him and he get up into the threat pose. RCF also sufficiently aggressive specimen, I very seldom take him into the hands and touch him outside of the tank only.

Have you lost it completely?

What do you mean? I don't quite understand.

On these photos the same Pterrors that on first photo, but here they are at younger age, size of the body about 3 cm. It's the beginning of them taming.
