But the spider is a little Chick Norris . So whether you are MANS man or superman the spider will take you down. :starwars:

Big part is respect, don't work with the spider when you had alcohol.
Don't rehouse in confined spaces.
Rehouse on the lawn, and you will be fine.

Thanks for the feed back guys

I always respect all my T's (really dont wanna get tagged)
Rehoused my H.Maculata on the lawn went really smooth.

Cerat making me doubt my decisions here lol, I have very young kids so always cautious about what im doing with the T's and make sure there enclosures are secure and out of reach from little fingers. but the thought of calceatum's and maculata's loose in my house causes some concern

I do love pokies just calceatum's and maculata's are something different and have caught my eye.

Oh btw alcohol isn't a problem for me don't drink at all

I have always had a love-hate relationship with my S calceatum. I loved her, she hated anything and everything that moved.

Sadly I had to freeze her after an incredibly bad molt yesterday. Even in the plastic tub on the way to the fridge she tried chewing through her own body to get away/ at me.

I really miss her.

We had some fun times. This thread explains how to rehouse them with zero risk to you or the spider. There is also a link in there to Cascade's bite report.

eish! Sorry!

Sorry to hear that Mate thats really not cool

Thanks. Don't let the aggro put you off though. You really get attached to them. Just make sure they don;t get attached to you!
All things considered, my juvie P irminia and P striata give me way more hassles than the S calceatum did with enclosure maintenance.
