Depends. If you do, I would try to bring a T that you can actually bring in it's enclosure. Removing the T from its home s stressful. Handling the T is stressful. Changing it's environment (temp and humidity) is stressful. So, sounds like a bad idea. However, this also sounds like a great opportunity to provide an education opportunity. Which is really one of the primary reasons this hobby even exists. 5 years old is a bit young and they may not retain anything learned but who knows? You could be helping to get future Arachno-collectors into the hobby. Your T, your call. Good luck!
