Alot of you are freaking pussies when it comes to spiders. They aren't out to get you. They are just trying to survive like anything else.

What should I do if one lands on me? Put it in a container and add it to my pet T collection.

im out to get it tho stomp that shit out

[Beechcraft2000]

You'll live either way if they land on you just some of the ways you could react are very painful for you in return .

[KresTKroVee]

Yeah, I might not have a container at the time but, its OK I'll just hold it for a while until I find something to put it in unless it shows a threat posture. My Theraphosa blondi has never bitten me and I hold her all the time. But, the hairs can make you itch if she flicks them on you. They make a great pet as I had several long lived threw the years.

I love T. They are such great animals and perfect pets. I have my collection of 8 different tarantulas and each of them is special for me.
