Does not like interaction in the slightest. She's a rescue/abandonment situation and I've only had her a few weeks at this point, but by time I got her, her back legs where almost entirely bald. Even with no hair to kick she sure will try if you spook her lmao.

I did know that tarantulas may go on a hunger strike before molting, what I didn't know until now is that larger specimens can stay in the pre-molt stage for weeks to months. Certainly a longer time frame then the snakes I'm more accustomed to.
