“The typical mating season for male tarantulas in the Bay Area runs from August to early October.”

What about the female tarantulas?

They have their own mating season.

After all, it is the Bay Area.

Its funny, my usual reaction to untrained civilians handling small furry wild creatures… is cringe. But dang, as long as they don’t drop it, a tarantula being handled seems pretty ok to me. I imagine people are less likely to spin some stupid Bambi narrative from the encounter.
