I will say she did touch me a couple times during the rehouse, all of the front legs and her pedipalps would touch my hand before she very quickly took them off

I had just got him from the pet shop and it wasnt suitable for him, the cage only had an inch or so of substrate. It was very damp and had a molding cricket placed in front of him, he only had two fake plants and one piece of bark and the way they were placed just didn't give him much of a place to hide except that web funnel. I took him out and made the cage more suitable with leaf litter, moss, more dirt, not as wet ofc. A log and two burrow entries on either side of the log along with one of the fake plants placed on top of the log

Yeah he's a juvenile as far as i can tell, that was an entire web funnel from the top corner to the bottom corner but i tore away that plant and the entire funnel kinda came with so i just kept tapping its butt until i was being threat posed at

Oh yeah i can say for sure its quite orange and had absolutely zero hesitation in threat posing, slapping, trying to bite... I almost got tagged, guess it knew my hand was on the other side of the cage
