Hi,

Is it possible to place any tarantulas in the fridge just for a few minutes to slow them down,especially the fast aggressive types,for example to prepare them for shipping?

I normally do this with my tub of crickets to make them more manageable.

Will this practice harm my tarantulas in any way?

Has anyone ever tried this before?

Thanks

Do not do this you will stress your spider out and its not good for them!

If you want to shipp them you need to deal with the packaging with the agro fast spider.
Or design some thing that will help you.

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us...
