"Well, I thought since my pink toe is still pretty small, I'll handle this gentle giant. So, I stuck my hand in the cage and got a grip on her, like I was shown many, many times when it comes to tarantula handling, and she fought me.
I thought, wow, what a cranky spider we have here. Even my Pamphobeteus antinious doesn't behave like this when I pick her up, so I tried again, and this time the pink toe twisted around in my hand and bit me on the thumb. I was shocked! It's the first time I've ever been bitten by a tarantula and of all the tarantulas I've handled it turned out to be a pink toe who nailed me first.

She only connected with one fang, but nonetheless drew some blood from me. So needless to say I put her down and left her alone the entire night."
