My spider was a real :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r: when I first got her (stress from FedEx flight, new enclosure, new person, etc). Gave her a few days and a feeding before I handled her. The first week or two she would suck in air and bloat herself up...but picked her up anyway and held her 5-10 minutes for a few weeks and moved up from there...

Now, she literally crawls into my hands when it's play time...she is the best! Snakes do not train like a dog or car...they become tolerant of us and a mutual respect is developed...but we need to work with them on a near daily basis...

That's what has worked for me and have happy, healthy, puppy-dog balls.
