I don't handle mine. They don't really like to be handled. I know some people do but I just like to look at them and what their activities.

they dont appreciate being handled, but they tolerate it.
Some individuals are supposedly unusually aggressive, but personally iv not dealt with any like that.
Handling should only be done aftr a long time of owning and studying them. When you have a better judgement of the spiders behaviours and actions. Its not taht youl get bitten that should be concern, it should be damamging the spdier!
