Definitely comfortable doing it. I won’t be reckless, but have been the bug, reptile, etc. lover in my family since birth. I had my hand in there, carefully, the other night when I was setting up the aquarium, and I’m not someone who is jumpy. My bigger concern is the spider…. I think I could...

yeah… sounds about like CALIFORNIA!!

I showed the picture to AI and it seems to think it’s definitely a tarantula. It sounds like it’s almost positively an adult male in which case I would, of course want to safely release it as soon as possible. With that mind should I go ahead and pull up? It’s moss to get him into a glass so I...

Oh that’s interesting! Yes, it does seem small for a tarantula but definitely not a wolf. Spider and AI did say tarantula. I agree it seems small, from my ignorant perspective, for a full grown male. I am familiar with false widows, but I didn’t know about false tarantulas. I will definitely be...

Hey Josh - I think I posted all my stuff in the wrong section. Can I forward all my questions to another topic thread? Thx!!!!

The things I’m worried about is keeping him warm enough. I keep my house pretty cold, but I figure it’s a lot warmer than outside -? The other thing is I bought this creature soil. I have more of it if I should make it deeper and I put a couple little drops of water to try to add a little...

Hi, my name is Stephanie. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area in California. Last weekend, I walked into my kitchen and, SHOCKER, this little guy was chilling in the middle of my kitchen floor. I happen to have an aquarium that I had bought for another long story, so I caught him by putting a...
