Had a similar experience 10 min ago. Was taking my adult female lividum out into a temp container as im selling her off now. She gave a nice threat pose, then proceeded to run up the forceps, up my arm, around my body twice and ended up facing my face in a threat pose on my right shoulder. Also called my wife, but she just said that i was being dumb and walked out the room closing the door behind her so the spider wouldn't escape. Managed to cup the lividum on my shoulder with a few strike's against the plastic container i was cupping her with. all round good entertainment for a sat morning.

She is feisty! I tried to coax her out of the container and into her new tank. At first she would not budge, but suddenly jumped from the cup to the substrate, ran up the inside of the glass and stared me right in the eye! :blink:

Needed new shorts after that!

Cerat thanks for her, she is a real beauty!

:laugh: LOL ... gawd the lividums intimidate me!!

I had a rather excited T Purpereus MM run up my arm and onto my back last night - guess he was not much in the mood for mating!! Luckily I had 2 very capable assistants to catch him lol

I think that happens to all of us at some stage!
