That is really useflu for me as i have an adult red knee and I may want to handle it sometime, in fact may have to handle it to clean his tank so its important to know how to do it properly.
Does yours kick hairs at all? Mine does quite a bit!

That's a good handling method to try out on species that are relatively calm, like this Brachypelma smithi, or grammastola pulchra.
She doesn't kick hairs that much, and when she does i don't react on them.

Others like Avics or more nervous brachypelma's and grammastola's i don't handle with the pick up method, i direct them on my hand or in a little plastic box with a spoon or tweezers.

Man, that enclosure is gorgeous along with the T as well! Great job on it! What exactly did you put in it? Did you build that cage yourself! I wanna see more of your enclosures now.

Thanks man!!!
I built the cage myself. This is my fifth terrarium and I finally learned how to do it with good finishing and little mess. It´s actually a prototype and the next time I buid one I´ll make a "how to make a terrarium". Inside I put In a layer of gravel, a layer of dirt, a layer os dried grass, sand, more dirt and dried grass on top. The water dish is the bottom part of a transparent soda botle with some small rocks. I´m really happy with the result.

There are some more of my terrariums in the terrarium thread. I studied and learned from The Natural´s enclosures. He´s the supreme master :)
