Back when I use to casually handle my inverts, I was bitten [but not envenomated] by an adult female H. hainanum. So obviously it happens, but I would conclude from what I've read that you aren't as likely to be bitten while casually handling as opposed to general maintenance and packing/unpacking. But yes, I certainly does happen. Though I've also been bitten on two seperate occasions during day-to-day cage maintenance tasks as well.That's a very purty H. maculata. So, without going through a zillion bite reports, has there _ever_ been a report of anyone getting bitten while simply handling a tarantula "casually", as shown in this video? (As opposed to doing cage maintenance, or losing control of one, etc.)
