Hey!
I've had my Aphonopelma Seemanni, Simon, for a couple of months now and I've been trying to do some research on handling as I haven't tried to handle him yet but, I can't find much. Would it be okay to handle him without gloves? The pet store worker (I know, untrustworthy) told me that I would need gloves to "train" him so he wouldn't bite/flick hairs. How do I go about handling him? Is there anything I need to do before just picking him up? How can I make sure he is comfortable throughout the process?
Thanks!
