There was a debate going on in another thread about the intellegence of tarantulas. I did not want to hijack that thread with a related question so I post it to you here...
Can a tarantula be "conditioned"?
I know it cannot be "trained", but can a tarantula be conditioned to, say, handling? For instance, are captive bred T's that are frequently handled by their owners less likely to bite than one of the same species and age found in the wild?
Just curious
