#all the scare quotes are because I Know That You Can't Treat Tarantulas Like Other Animals

[loracarol]

My G. pulchra was Very "Curious" about getting out of her tank during the last feeding, so I figured I'd let her do a very supervised walkabout. My hand is on my desk, so she wouldn't fall very far if that should happen (heaven forbid!). Once on my hand, she just sat there and chilled like a lovely black bracelet.

(I did add a filter? It's the "normal" filter; I'm not sure what it does, but I liked how it looked lol.)

I can totally see why they're called the "black lab" of the tarantula world, and I think she might be one of the only ones I handle - only when she "wants" to, of course!
