Transfering and handling tarantulas.
The problem connected with transfering and handling tarantulas are constantly discussed amongst specialists and amateurs all over the hobby in the World.
Such possibility at all looks enough attractive and wholly realizable with many slow terrestrial species, not showing aggression to its master (most representatives of genus Brachypelma, for instance). 
Besides, author and its colleagues is constantly realized such procedure during transfering tarantulas from terrarium to terrarium, determination of sex or when undertaking of other manipulates with them if needed. This is because many, even nervious and aggressive, potentially dangerous spiders such as Theraphosa blondi, Citharischius crawshayi may be within time accustommed to this procedure since small age. However does not stand to experiment in respect of majorities of arboreal species, since they quick and movable and also tarantulas of group 4 (except Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens) and majority of representatives of group 3. From american, in general considering more calm tarantulas, stand out two species handling which is not recommended because of their denominated aggressiveness – Phormictopus cancerides and Aphonopelma moderatum.
