The Goliath and the Salmon tried but never managed it.

cobalt blue

all of the above bites sucked except the rosea. that was a bit girly.

So they didnt hurt?

I dont let my fingers get close enough to my orange baboon or my colbalt blue to get bitten

CHRIST THEY HURT SO BAD !!!!

They really sucked balls.

swelled up to almost elephantine size and itched like mad for around 4 or 5 days. felt silly for being so complacent

Well, it cant be worse than a room ful;l of sub adult, and adult Theraphosas.. i would hate to think how many hairs the lay around to molt on *shudders* The males arent too bad but the females, whoa!
i had 3 molt in 1 in feb, 1 in march, 1 in april... iv been itching for months, lol.
the swelling sounds a bit nasty. but you say youv been bitten by a haplo. Thats a 'supposed' hospitalising genus. Either dry, or good immunity.. or maybe the haplos reputation is wrong. Dont get me wrong i bet it was horrid

have to say, I've never had the pleasure.
But then I've never held of any of our T's
