This particular tarantula is an Avic - which means it is arboreal (tree dwelling by nature) - they are fast - have a good nature - and can cling to ANYTHING. . .

When I first bought it, I had never had a tarantula, and I am naturally an arachnaphobe, I tried to get it out of it's shipping cup (a small deli cup) - and into the cage - well he ran out the cup, and up my hand up my arm before I really started to freak out - it was THAT FAST. I got her down - and got em in the cage.

That first meeting was like OMGHI2U from the spider
