Think you've done a great job, I really don't like spiders - of any sort, but your pic makes me want to reach out and touch what looks like a soft cuddly creature ... mmm interesting! LOL

Default actually...
it is rather soft. shes of a docile species, so she can be easily handled. i really did not like spiders at all until i got it, but now the only ones that still bug me are those fat-bodied porch spiders that look like giant ticks. yuck!

thanks for the compliment!

Default eh.
they aren't so bad if they aren't moving really fast.

i've only had her run up my arm once, and only because someone thought it was a good idea to BLOW on her while she was on my hand.

she just molted the other day, so after she digests her meal (and therefore calms down a bit) i plan on getting a few more... interesting shots.
