Hey all

I need to rehouse a dangerous tarantula, am sorry but i can't say which one. Its fast, its aggressive and its venomous. I am used to the easy brachypelma species, where I am calm.

I think am going to be super nervous for this one. And it has to be rehoused. Any suggestions on how you rehouse pokies and things like that? I CANNOT GET BITTEN!

Thanks

Use a paint brush to force it out, and do the rehousing in the bath. So if it runs you can still catch it. Get a small container to catch the t after its been forced out of it old enclosure. Put the new enclosure in the bath and force it out the small container with the paint brush into the new enclosure.

If it is a Pokie, rehouse on an open flat ground. They are very fast when going up, bet get tired very soon when running on flat ground. (2 meters or so). If it escapes it won't run very far and you can re-capture it with a seethru container and a push a piece of paper underneath. Place in new housing.
