Species: Grammostola rosea
Reported by: frank1026@...
"Got a little nip from my rose hair, who used to get picked up quite often. Not any more, of course! Stung quite a bit for a short time, and then itched for a day or so right at the sight, but this was one of those "no worse than a bee sting" experiences."
In a later message he added: "While I can't bring myself to comfortably use Stan Schultz' cup method on any but my most docile T's, I will never again use the pin method. My only bite came years ago from using it on my rose hair, and I'd picked her up many times w/ it previously. Now I guide any T I handle up the side of its container w/ a paintbrush and out onto my hand. Cowardly, maybe, but if they turn on the brush, or won't go where I guide them, then I don't pick them up."
