Brazilian White Knees have a reputation for being on the aggressive side as far as Tarantulas are concerned, indeed they can even be downright psychotic!
But Mrs Bigglesworth was the largest and most chilled out spider I ever held and I told Dan that I had to have her.
I have had Mrs Bigglesworth for 6 months now and despite her fasting for a couple of months not long after I got her she now has a ferocious appetite. Handling her however is now a little hit and miss, Dan tells me I have broken her lol. Usually she is okay buy occasionally she will spin around and turn on me and rear up when I go to pick her up. Oddly I am not overly fond of spiders, house spiders creep me out big time. In fact before I held a tarantula I was terrified of all spiders to the point whereby if I noticed one in the bedroom my wife would have to remove it from the room for me.
I would highly recommend anyone thinking about a pet tarantula to just go and get one. They are easy to care for and require nothing but food, water and warmth. Whilst they aren't really a pet for handling, some will tolerate it and some won't, it's just pot luck. They are fascinating to watch, especially at feeding time and cheap to buy and look after.
