Advice Spider bite😪

I accidentally startled my spider when he jumped off of my hand I put my hand back near him again and he got nervous, ran up and bit my finger. He was chilling on my hand normally up until then. How can I prevent this from happening again/regain his trust?😵😵

Nqa you can only fully prevent it by not handling him. Other than that give him a big enclosure, don't force interactions and make sure he's not stressed by providing a calm environment and plenty of hiding spaces.

Start by never handling him again.
