It's usually not to bad. I have gotten haired once by the male Boehemi. I headed for the shower immediately after that one. I wear disposable gloves if I have to rehouse anybody. Btw, if you set up your Hap in a deep burrow setup, (well you won't see it too much) but it won't freak out to much at ya.

I also wear gloves if I'm trying to sex a molt. I hang out on a couple of invert boards and long term exposure to the hairs seems to increase the reaction to it. I want to be able to keep my "oh so itchy" pretty new world species for a long time.
