Thanks Spaniard,

This will be only my second snake and with the first one I got lucky she is just a doll - never shows any aggression at all.

I do have gloves that I bought when I first got my normal female but didn't end up needing them with her.

This particular Spider is just gorgeous - and I hate to pass it up but by the same token - I don't want a pet that I can't ever interact with or get attacked trying to clean its cage - LOL.
