There’s a ton of comments I see that say “never play using your hands!”

I’m just posting this to show that it’s not the end of the world if you do. Murphy never pierces my skin with his teeth or nails, he’s incredibly gentle. I’ve never had anything negative happen from playing with my hands, he understands “spider fingers” is a game and understands when it’s over. Even when he broke his claw and was in incredible pain, he didn’t actually bite me when I was treating it, he just like fake bit me, like pretended to bite like in the video but didn’t actually use force, if that makes sense.

He has bitten the vet and techs, they give me pills to sedate him before every visit now 😂
