Hey guys,
I got my first T a few weeks ago, a Selenotypus plumipes. Needless to say, I've seen enough to say I'm glad I'm into the hobby! As an old world tarantula, Aussie T's have a reputation of being defensive, even though mine has shown no sign of aggression and is currently small. What I wanted to know was what method I would use to handle her if she escaped or when she has to be moved to another tank? I've read some of the other posts on handling here, but they seem to be more concerned with more docile species (perhaps for good reason )
