When I read "hand holding" before seeing the shots, I thought you meant holding the spider's hand/hands? I was trying to picture that.
Great, sharp photos of a beautiful creature.

Thank you Cameranut, letting him crawl around on my hand
and arm was enough.

During the mating season, we have a bunch of them here in South Central Texas. Just don't get any of them"riled up" (upset) with you though. They are "usually" pretty docile, but can become the opposite pretty fast. Agree that most of the time, hand held, is the best.
Great pictures for sure.
Thanks for posting them.

What is upset? Do they chase you? Do they inject deadly venom into you?

They do not have any deadly venom at all (except to all kind of insects, small rodents & in some instances to small birds).
The females are the most docile & the males are more protective of the females, nests, & any of the young. IF you wish, you can go to a local "snake show" & most of the time they have tarantulas for sale. Go to Google & type in "pictures of tarantulas". Some of them are beautifully colored & get pretty large. Some people even keep them as pets. The females have a larger abdomen than the males do.
