Couldn't have said it better myself, Phillip

Also, I must agree with your previous post about keepers mistaking defensiveness for aggressive behavior...Meant to reply to that one earlier, but time just got away from me as usual.

If you think about it, there is technically no such thing as an "Aggressive" tarantula. Aggression is a relative term, for sure, but I know of no tarantula that is going to go out of its way to nail you, rather than to get away. Sure some tarantulas are a little quicker to defend their "territory", but I highly doubt that ANY t *wants* to bite you. hehe...

Anyway, just my .02

i dunno about that...

...according to the film industry, whom we all know are gods of wisdom and knowledge, many Ts frequently lust for the taste of human blood...

AND, on top of that, are merely waiting for the chance to mutate from toxic waste and devour us all...

oh wait, am i awake and posting this? -blink-
