Impressive.
I just had to watch the rufilata handling video...that's a very nice spider, and quite different from the other poecs. I just may have to get one...*sigh*

Curious, what gender spider is being used for most of the handling vids and pics? Do you notice a difference?
Do the poecs handle like an avic for the most part? Do they stay on your hands and rarely jump off? Will they jump back to their homes if they can smell it nearby?(my avics do this).
And finally, have you been bitten, and what do you think caused the spider to do this? You two are obviously very comfortable with your spiders, its very nice to see! The animals look pretty calm too.
Cheers

All of Ts are females, but in general I hadn't noticed a difference in behaviour of both genders.

Pokies aren't like avics in any event, especially in handling
Pokies are more nervous, they are "touch-me-nots" When I handle them, they run along my hands like on the overheated surface and always ready to jump. If I don't move, they are calming.
And they almost always try to turn to its home.

And finally, have you been bitten, and what do you think caused the to do this? You two are obviously very comfortable with your spiders, its very nice to see! The animals look pretty calm too.

I have been bitten several times and now I know why spiders do that They bite if I tease them very emphatically and long and when I press on they too much. And I just don't do that

regalis, I played with rufilata very peacefully

i should have guessed it was pandora in the other pics... how many crazy Russian girls are out there?

good stuff

and it's really hard to explain why it is so much fun to put something venomous on your face... it just is =P

 

[Camberwell]

Hi there,

I'v had a theory on how you guys get these T's on your face with no aparent problems......

I noticed your from russia, Is it cold in your house by any chance??

would it be the same as say putting a T in the fridge to slow it down??

just a thought
