Do your Ts scare you??

[Coleslaw007]

I started out very "iffy" about touching them at all, very creeped out. When I got my first, a tiny speck of a G. rosea, I wouldn't touch her at all, let alone handle. As she got bigger I built up my courage by touching her with the end of my hair, then petting her butt with my finger, and finally letting her walk on me. I don't really handle any of our T's for their safety but I'm not scared to anymore. I AM scared of getting bitten.

We currently have 5, a sub-adult g. rosea (rose hair,) sub-adult g. pulchripes (chaco golden knee,) p. metallica sling (Gooty sapphire,) a. versicolor sling(Antilles pinktoe,) and just bought a c. cyaneopubescens (green bottle blue) sling this weekend. I know I'll be a bit scared of the p. metallica when it's bigger as I've read their bites are no fun. I seriously want an l. parahhybana (Brazilian Salmon bird-eater.)

Edit: My versicolor DOES do backflips when I drop a roach in with it. It's adorable.
