Ok I really need some help here, I have recently purchaced a pink toed tarantula.... I have wanted one for a very long time but have not ever worked up the nerve to get one (I am alergic to bee stings) I have a couple of questions so please help me
I bought it still nervous about it but I thought i could deal with it heres the problem....
1. I was taking it out of its temporary cage and it got out on me (it is very fast) i had to catch it but I did not want to put ANY pressure on it so it was quite a chore trying to herd this thing in its cage i think i just ended up pissing it off... What is the best way to handle these situations with out causing any harm to the pink toe?
2. I am usually very educated on all my animals before I decide to purchace one but this time i am affraid to admit I bought it on a wim.. I do not like it any less but I fear I am a little uneducated on the terrians on the specific species... so if any one could please give me info on them I would appricate it very much.
3. do they have Likes and dislikes?
Any info would be appricated I do not want to be igornant on this animal so any info would help.
Thanks to all in advance,
Kim
OH P.S. what kind of damage will a bite inflict? I have heard 2 different things 1 because i am alergic to bees it would be worse but i have also heard this is not true which one is it?
