My understanding is that the difference has more to do with the range of motion of the chelicerae rather than the physical orientation of them.
So what's their temperament like? Are they skittish, bold, defensive? Do they tend to freak out when you open their cage like pokies sometimes do or stand their ground?
They are mainly skittish, and fast...I can't even begin to make you understand HOW fast. They are also very calculated long distance jumpers which is just surreal to see...I had an adult male hop from it's enclosure to another point almost 3 ft away and he landed right where he wanted to....not like T's that just jump like madmen. Their behavior varies from species to species, just like T's so it's very hard to make any generalizations.
Actually I was thinking more about the hassle of dealing with a jumpy, flighty escape risk on a daily basis than really being tagged. Do they like, set up a tube or something like a t does then dive for it when spooked or do they just jump for the sky or what? I have a P regalis, for example who practically does cartwheels every time her little tub gets moved a little. She'll just as likely exit the enclosure as not if the top is opened and she's feeling jumpy that day. If it's like that but 10x faster then maybe i'll put that purchase off for a few months...
Huntsmen are fairly skitterish, but not dangerous, and they can be handled, though with the usual caveats.
I have about eight roaming free at home, without incident ~ they take care of any mosquitoes and other unwelcome bugs. ;P
