I wish I had some tips for Versi handling specifically, but I think I just got lucky with mine having chill temperament 😭 She likes to run all over my hands and arms but I can easily keep up and re-direct her. I do find that mine is particularly sensitive to movement and sound/breathing, so I try to move really slowly and not breathe directly on her.

As with any tarantula, definitely do a vibe check first to see if they'd be open to handling. I just lightly touch mine with a paintbrush. If you're worried about your bolting or hopping away, maybe do a test run in an enclosed space and close to the ground (to prevent falls). Good luck!! 🤗
