How can I pick up my tarantula with out getting bitten or being scared?

I thought that what is quoted below from the following site might be helpful for you. I hope that it is. Gordon's Tarantula Care Sheet (http://www.earthlife.net/chelicerata/tarantula.html)


Handling your tarantula is something many people desire to do, this is all right in small amounts but tarantulas are not really happy on your hands because you flesh damps out the vibrations they use to sense the world. Handling is fun though, if it needs to be done carefully. First off you should know that if you drop a ground dwelling species and it hits the floor it will most likely die. Secondly like all animals your spider will be sensitive to your emotional state to some extent, it will detect your fear and this will disturb it. If you are unsure work first with someone who knows what they are doing, this way you will learn to generate the calm atmosphere that makes handling work. If you buy your spider as a spiderling, then handling is easier as you can get to know each other as it grows, then by the time it is an adult it will be as confident as you are of being handled. Having said this, different tarantula species, and even individuals within a species, have different temperaments and some spiders just handle better than others. Some species are naturally more aggressive and should never be handled.
