For a large spider it is the most delicate eaters, as whatever size of live food I place in it enclosure it will always only eat one at a time, where all my other spiders collect as many as they can carry. Although she will rarely turn down a cricket, or larger prey, chasing it at speed, sometimes before my hand is out of its tank. It spends most of its time resting half out of a large flower pot always face forwards so it makes a great display tarantula. It has not shown any aggression towards me, and she does not seem to be worried about my disturbance when feeding, changing water or cleaning the tank. But when trying to move her for my photography she sometimes kicks large clouds of irritating hairs, once she did not want to be moved, and I found out how incredibly strong these animals can be.
