Well that's normal, i mean being scared of touching a tarantula.:nilly:

What really surprises me is that a lot of people seem to touch and hold their spyders with bare hands just as if they were holding a kitty.....


Regardless it is always fun to see them so why don't you post some picts of that agressive little beast of yours pal....:popcorn:
 
yeah, why dont you just put some gloves on or something then clean the cage? what would happen if it bit you anyway? haha thats funny that youre scared of your own pet.. i had some fish (i wont mention bc you will laugh) that i was scared to put my hand in the tank to clean it bc of them lol..
post some pics!! even though i hate spiders still want to see it.
 
is it defanged? they have defanged ones right? or did am i confusing that with snakes?
 
also maybe its mating season. alot of animals get mean during certain times of the year. my 5 foot iguana get mean as crap in the middle of summer.
 
send it the mental message that A)you are taking care of it B)that you could squash it like a bug and it will sense that you are not intimdated and leave you alone

and if you get bitten don't worry it only hurts for a short bit till your insides liquify and the critter drinks you like a protein shake muahahahahhahah
 
just had to post a pic for ya, I got my lense about 2 inches from it dont be a scardy cat feed it good first then the spider should calm down
