I'm pretty sure my P. cam is one of those exceptions to their general behavior. Funny enough, the breeder I got her from said she was never displaying any defensiveness, even had her run onto his hand with no incident. Since I got her, she molted twice in my care and becomes more and more evil - is always out sitting on the corkbark as well...usually they are considered the more mellow of the Psalms, but you'll never know And yes - they're fast - though my Tappie is way worse in that regard...just a blur.I'm interested to see if one or both my little P. cambridgeis will become more defensive as they grow. Right now they are skittish and quite shy (I've only seen one of them a handful of times since I got them). They always run for their burrows when I go into their enclosures to feed or retrieve leftovers (or lately, uneaten prey...here's hoping for a molt in the coming days!) I did get a look at their speed when I unpacked both of them, though. That was a definite eye-opener! lol
I'm confident that I will never venture into Haplopelma species, either. Not with what I've read about them!
Anyways, back 2 topic and sorry for hijacking
