Use tongs and catch cups, plan out rehousings, and make sure you know where the spider is before opening the enclosure. You can start out with more "laid back" OW if you like, like the Ceratogyrus genus. If you know what you're doing, OW can be fun, and there are many beautiful species out there. You can try out transitional species like Psalmopoeus or Ephebopus, some NW that are a bit faster and venomous.</p></blockquote><p></p>
