Just make sure you handle it over a pillow or something soft. I don’t handle Ts except very rarely. My t albo I pinch grabbed i itched for 3-5 days straight afterwards. So you might wanna wear medical gloves. I won’t tell people not to handle them because I’ve done it on purpose and accident but there is no benefit to handling tarantulas they aren’t like reptiles or mammals who need attention. If you do so do so as safe as possible with less risk of injury for the t and protect your self from urts hairs . I nearly had to get rid of all my Ts but thanks to rubber glovesI used to be super anal and strict about handling like everyone on this forum but after seeing this it’s kind of wholesome that she’s able to love them, even if she does some kind of iffy stuff with them. I do agree that putting a spider in your mouth is a bit of an unwise decision View attachment 454237
