hasn't bitten me, but if I try to handle it and it backs up, I let it be. They will bite, but not unless you do something stupid. The only real bugs are Hemiptera I'm not really used to keeping arachnids, so I'm still getting used to it, but I'd rather handle it than an earthworm for some reason, lol.

haven't experienced that, but I've only handled it a couple times. I'm still a little skittish
