[QUOTE="Arachnoclown, post: 164770, member: 27444"] Sounds like you got lucky. Not sure what kind of enclosure your using but you should always have the worst case scenario already in your head. The hand without the tongs should have the lid of the enclosure or a catch cup or fish net. Drop the tongs next time. It's better it falls a few inches then a few feet onto the floor. When you drop the tongs the other hand should cover the top of the enclosure with whatever your using. Personally I just use my hand to stop them but you may have to work up to that. Fish nets are my favorite. You can quickly cover the top of just about any enclosure. I've stopped 10" pokies with fish nets. Two fish nets can trap and move any spider back to his or her enclosure.
