Sorry.... forgot some of you guys get distracted.

I wasn’t correcting you sir. You’re way more knowledgeable than I. I just saw the spider doing his best Drax invisibility impression. “They can’t see me!”

Douglas Adams would be proud of that comment, sir

I’ll admit, I never read the book but thoroughly enjoyed the shows and movie.

I use hot glue all the time. I put spiders in the enclosures as soon as it cools. The only worry I have is the long strans of glue left behind. Not that they will but I don't want my spiders ingesting them. Many spiders will eat their own webbing and I don't want it mixed up in with it.

How fast did you place your Tarantula back in? Mine is a sling. The waterbowl from above got knocked down so now I just Hot glued the waterbowl back in and placed him in a small vial that I received him in for a short while. I dont want to stress him out by leaving him in there for too long. I was wondering how fast did you wait for it to cool? As soon as it does? Or 30 mins an hour etc

Personally, I give about 10 to 15 minutes, just sufficient time for the glue to cool & the smell to dissipate.

Once you have used the glue spray it with water and it’ll almost instantly set.
