Best transport carrier for a two day road trip

[wiehbensosgnwj]

I am to be moving from Maryland to Texas soon and I was wondering what the best way to transport my Lasiodora parahybana is. I was thinking of either putting her in a deli cup or blocking her hide with a piece of cardboard so she can stay in her enclosure while not being able to move around and harm herself. What are your guys's ideas?

I would move it into a deli cup with paper towel sides so that it doesn't injure itself during transit as the vehicle rocks around. Kind of like how people ship tarantulas. Maybe the dealers on these boards can clarify?

Tom's Big Spiders has a podcast about packing and moving spiders, you should give it a listen. I agree that deli cups are probably the best way to go. Less chance that the T can get jostled around and you can easily put it in a bag or something to bring into rest stops and the like.

Pack like you were shipping it, IMO

Just moved a few hundred spiders myself. Just left them in their enclosures. Boxed up the small juveniles and slings in their enclosures or vials. Taped up doors and lids as needed. Moved over the fourth of July with temps in the mid 90s. Everyone survived the 9 hour ordeal.

Thank you everyone for the replies, I've decided that I am going to put her in a deli cup lined with a paper towel and I will be there to monitor her the entire trip.
