Mainly what you have is a more controlled environment. I have the spider contained, and feel secure, even if it decides to run up a wall, it has to go through me and my catch cup if it wants to escape. They're easily controlled in a tight space with three slick walls <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> In my bedroom, or living room, I would not feel in control at all. An escape cannot happen in my house. I have dogs..and I'm willing to bet Australian tarantulas aren't the only ones who can kill a dog. I worry about it all the time.</p></blockquote><p></p>
