Ha yeah, ive read to watch that, incase you get an obese spider!
She does need a better inclosure, a deeper one.
I had her in an aboreal set up with the heat constantly running, because the Borneos need 72-78° f. So i now need to figure out what the new breed needs.

Alright i put her in a new enclosure, she actually went on a little jog around my room between (she took off out of the bowl before i could get something over the surface, she is FAST)
But now shes chilling near the top. Id always heard with my Rose Hair that even small drops are bad. I cant remove the bowl thats in there without opening and i cant risk a runner again either. And opening it to get a gloved hand in seems risky for her extremely sudden movements too, which also lead to a drop on the sides shes at.

Invest in some long tongs. It's much easier to slide tongs in rather than a bulky gloved hand and they come in so handy for removing rubbish and moults.

Yeah ive been watching videos, and tongs seem to be necessary with every experienced T handler. Ive only had her a few days, when pay day rolls up, I'll grab some.

Tongs or forceps. I prefer the forceps, they are easier to grab things with, especially from awkward angles, which is hard to do with tongs. The ones with the rubber tips work best.

Wow, bamboo tongs that are 11inches. Now I need to get me some of those.

Those are the ones i was looking at. they're 12" sorry not 11. Might order them just for their original use anyway, toast tongs. Never thought about that before but it would eliminate the kid using a knife to get the smaller pieces of bread out of the toaster.
