You will stop when you get a nice pokie bite.
they most certainly aren't, but what you do is your buisness. i assume you've ran a search on the risks of handling so you know what you are getting into.
Ya u are very right working on not handling at all better for them and me as well lolYou will stop when you get a nice pokie bite.

I held my versi sling a few times until it finally sunk in that he thinks he's Rocky the Flying Squirrel, so I stopped handling him altogether - then, a couple of months ago, I got an A avic juvenile, which I sort of had to handle to get him safely from the LPS enclosure into the little cardboard box. He didn't seem at all jumpy like Speedy did, so when I got him home I gave him another 'test handle,' and man, he crawled all over me - clearly less inclined to leap into the wild blue yonder than Speedy was - so Speedy can remain ensconced in his little world, and my avic Mister U (for "mysterieux," because he behaves so strangely) and I can do the Lambeth Walk together. :3:
As you may have intuited, I'm a firm believer in handling, and I can tell that you want to become a handler too - my advice is to approach your Ts with confidence and patience - don't ever pick them up, let them be coaxed onto you. Don't give them a reason to flick or to bite, and they won't. If they reeeeeeely reeeeeely don't want to venture onto your pulsing flesh, you'll know, and you'll respect their wishes. My LP, for example, has made it imminently clear that he wants nothing to do with me - my GBB, by contrast, is as handleable as can be - which leads me to my next bit of advice - don't let the testiness of one T spoil your potential to get physical with another - they're all different. Jeez, am I sounding like a preacher, or what!
Thank you for reminding me of a cautionary tale regarding hairs, the moral of which I learned the hard way - after multiple instances of handling my Ts without a trace of itchiness, I was lulled into a false sense of invincibility - then my A genic came along, and my delusions of grandeur came to a very itchy end - and yes, it happened without a single hair being flicked - I had to face the grim reality that merely holding the genic spelled bad news ... but then you've got the guys like Terry D, who can wear his monster A genic like a glove with no ill effects (please see http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?t=197381 for vivid proof), likewise Deathcrew with his LP. It's enough to make a guy a little jealous!
