No. I don't really hold any of mine. The only time i'll hold them is during a transfer or unpacking/packing them. And thats only if i feel like the T is calm enough and is a species/size that wouldn't hurt lol.
I don't own them to hold them, i don't have a reason to interact with them really. I like them for 3 reasons:
1. Some are just really cool looking and really pretty. I'm simple minded so i like shiny/pretty/fast moving things! :p
2. I like watching them eat. Same way i like to watch my snakes eat. Its cool to see them hunt/ambush/overpower their prey. I don't feel too bad for the roaches because they live a great life with the goods i feed them.
3. I like observing their antics. They're very immature like a bunch of little two year olds. They make messes of their enclosures building randomn forts and tunnels, they snatch their food like a kid would grab a cookie, and they'll bite you if you get them too worked up. Some are calmer, some are more hyper. Just depends on the kid. I mean T... :p
