    How did that tiny little bit leave that mark? What do you have, tissue paper skin?

    I'm thick skinned! I'm telling you she's evil! It does indeed feel good to get it out of the way. Almost 2 years with no incidents....gotta start over now.

    Re: First bite!

    Just got a new female spider (165 g) who was super scared and stressed after the flight and snapped at me more than a half dozen times from inside her new enclosure (nailed the glass a few times), yet was great when I held her last night and this morning. I have another normal female who has never even been in a strike position except at feeding.

    Haven't been tagged yet and I have a huge startle reflex that I have a hard time controlling so I appreciate everyone's experiences as this helps knowing that a tag isn't as bad as my mind is making it out to be. I know a tag here and there is just part of these beautiful animals...It's that first one that pops my cherry that I just need to get through...

    Balophile - it's pretty normal to have strong reflexes to NOT get bit. I had heard hundreds of times and still had strong reflexes to not get bit lol.
