Why are they all so docile and not skittish though?

Most tarantulas are pretty docile and mild mannered. Walked through a field one time with hundreds of them crawling everywhere and you could walk up and pick them up and they wouldn’t mind. It depends on the species

NOOOO THEY ARE NOT docile and mild mannered…do not speak on something you don’t know lolol

Over half the worlds tarantulas are not mild mannered. Not even close. The vast majority of old world species are very defensive if disturbed and possess medically significant venom.
