Handling Pet Tarantulas
One method of handling your pet tarantula is to move all objects away from her, gently touch a leg to let her know you are there, then hold your flattened palm facing her, while very gently touching her back legs to encourage her to move forward. Try to sit on the ground, or keep your tarantula as close to the ground as possible.
