yeah you can see the little clusters of hair floating around,just dont get it in your eyes or nose mouth all that.Wash you hands after messin with their cages.The only T hairs I ever got a body full of was one of the worst,T blondi,and it felt crazy,like youve been in fiberglass and ants.Washes and scrubbs off though.If the smithi is used to being messed with they dont do it as much.Its just usualy the first move.Once your holding it they calm down,mine did it once while on my arm,lol.
 
T blondi kicks alot too,most pics you see and their butts are almost bare on the back.However,looking at a spider that big in your cage is worth all the risk.They are like real monsters man.Some ppl dont have as much luck with them though,I think their are too many imports,mine was cb sling,now its like a 7 or 8 inch leg span.
 
just dont get all your wanted too fast,part of what keeps it exciting is knowing some day you will have another one you want real bad.I got the ones I wanted most right away,then I was like now what,lol.However I got back into studying them a few years ago and my list grew,lets just say,all of them,lol.I want pokies real bad,I want a good looking costa rican zebra,white knee,curly hair to name a few.Dude,long ago I had a sling honduran curly hair that got out through a tiny hole,was lost and assumed dead for over a month,found it by the bed 3 times bigger,put in on vermiculite for substrate like one crappy book said and it died a few weeks later.Who knows but crazy huh.They move from fluid pressure,not muscles,so if they dehydrate they cant move and eventualy die but I cant believe it lived and thrived in my house that entire time.
