Well if you are looking for a tarantula that you can handle this might not be the best choice. They have a bit more potent venom. It's not going to kill you but I'd bet a little bit of money that it would ruin your day. They are arboreal and love to climb. Mine have been kind of skittish but not that bad really compared to other pokies. Your right they do have great colors! But once again not something I would ever wake up and decide to hold just for fun.i was just wondering about their temperment and how defencive they are also if they mind being handled.Also..are they aboreal or terrestial? they have amazing colours and i might consider buying one .
they are aboreal.......i agree with ryan, they can be skiddish but mine are usually pretty calm and never have been defensive... but also take into consideration peoples experience's differ from t to t...so just because mine aren't, doesn't mean yours will be....i was just wondering about their temperment and how defencive they are also if they mind being handled.Also..are they aboreal or terrestial? they have amazing colours and i might consider buying one .
I'd say if you have to ask these questions then you're not ready to own one.i was just wondering about their temperment and how defencive they are also if they mind being handled.Also..are they aboreal or terrestial? they have amazing colours and i might consider buying one .
I never get when people say things like this. He's asking questions now, it's not like he bought one and is now asking what to do and what to expect, he's doing his homework before buying.I'd say if you have to ask these questions then you're not ready to own one.
Do some good research for a good few months before even thinking of buying one (IMO)
I would have had to do a few hundred months of studying and research if that was the case. I'd be 80 or so before id be allowed to own one.i know, i dont get where you have to research any t for a month or so, to be able own it?????:?

Yes I get what you are saying but the guy is asking questions now he did not buy one first. To me asking questions is part of research. Or is it........
This is why people say things like, research the critter and think about it. Besides money being a factor, what are you going to do if you no longer want it, can you care for it, what if it gets out, what if it is unruly, etc etc etc...
Too much research is never a bad thing.
Well, if he doesn't want that Gooty he can always give it to me and heck, guess I'd even pay for shipping too. All kidding aside, if you want it, get it. Just realize what you've got and treat your relationship with respect and you'll do fine.
