Ok now that is exactly how you SHOULD NOT handle Ts (at great distance from the floor) Yes i am being patronizing and when it leeps to its doom youl understand why , never lift a T more than a few inches from a soft cusion...

Half the time they are going to bolt up your arm... it's the other half that is cause for concern
Well,
I just posted this pic somewhere in another thread but here ya go. I do not condone the handeling of esp. "aggressive" T's but I couldn't resist. At the bottom is a picture of me holding a very awesome T. blondi. It's not my blondi but I got to hold her. Sorry about the large size of the last pic.

Oh boy, annother handling debate...
Although I agree that there's a risk involved with holding tarantulas, especially in an elevated position, let's lighten up a little here. Out of all the crazy things that can be seen on the internet at any given moment, this is hardly the stuff of wild reclessness. I seriously doubt that a beginner is going to pick out these images, out of a sea of other information, and decide to start tossing their tarantulas around.
Do What Thou Wilt With Thy Taranatulas, Within Reason. So Speaks An ARACHNOKING!
*cough* heh. Sorry!

Hight is something to think about when handling a T.
I heard a story about a guy's spider that fell on the floor with death as result. (50cm or something... so, not that high....) Abdomen splitted open and spider was put in refrigiator (sp).
Those first handling pics are not how it shoud be done... but i guess he knows that now...
This is how i handle my T's (once a year or so...)

Who exactly are you talking about? My post was intended humorously.Freddie said:
What is "sensurated"?
Wade
I think he may have been referring to Jesses' post, not yours, Wade. Your joke was obvious. I liked it. It made me smile and laugh a little.
Sensurated? Yeah, I wonder, too, but is it worth finding out? By my psychic powers, I can tell it's not going to be a compliment!

maybe sensurated is a misspeling of censored? as in "freaking egos"?
I do think its funny that in a thread about pics of handling ts, the majority of the pics are of the handler, with the tiny t noticable in over on the side... the thread should be titled "pics of Me, and a tarantula over on the side"
egos indeed, there's a couple with the tarantula and a hand, and that's more what I'd expect, who wants to look at people on a tarantula website?

Well... I agree on the point of being carefull, I made it too obviously. But I think by now Jesse has got the message. I'd say it has even gone a little far with almost everyone saying the same thing. It's a bit harrassing don't you think? (<- This sentance is aimed at the general public more than towards any individual.) In Jesses place I'd feel that way anyway.
He had good intentions I am sure, made an error of jugdement (eventho nothing happened and it is his choice anyway), didn't realize it possibly, was happy to post his pics (I guess) prowdly showing his little T's, a few not too well thought through words and then this breaks to the surface.
I see how it can start, but I'm a bit surprised there seems to be no end to it.
Eventho it is interesting to see how many people stand behind the ideal of not lifting your T too high (including me) and will eagerly say so it has become rather much in this thread.
If it wasn't cheesy I'd say lets all join up and hold hands. Well, anyway I hope Jesse doesn't take it too personally and that neither side got too hurt in this to continue in a friendly way.
Let's end this folks, ok?

I just deleted one too bad word there.
And i was not talking about your post Wade. I meant those pics where is more human than a t. I get that feeling that person wants to only say "look at me, im cool and best and im good cos i can handle t's and yeah, all" - when i see a pic of t on the hand or anywhere. And besides all (those who has read some of my posts by mistake) should know that im totally against t handling - any kind of them.
Had i something else to say anymore...

I figured as much, I just wanted to make sure my joke wasn't lost in translation! I didn't want to leave the impression that I thought I was some sort of big shot because I've hung around here long enough to log 2,000 posts!

Ok kids...
The bell rang, recess is over, but be glad for the extra 5 minutes you got while they were testing the fire alarm system.
Nice spider.
I wish I had one.
If I did, I probably wouldn't handle it that far from the ground. However, it is his spider, as such his decision. But for the record, when you make something public you must anticipate a response and be prepared for the negative variety as well.
As for baron status, well... Bush is the president and yet...
So, please hang your jackets up, place your shoes neatly under the locker, and open to page 56 of the Tarantula Keepers Guide.
And you! Stop picking your nose!
