[QUOTE="bbbs53, post: 137561, member: 27439"] Although tongs/tweezers have been mentioned, chop sticks work also for retrieving whatever needs to be removed. One can also use a card to seclude the spider in the area it is in leaving the unoccupied space easy to work in. In the past I have kept a very aggressive girl that needed these precautions. Although slightly painful and pretty alarming, it fades fairly quickly and causes no permanent damage unlike a recluse or widow. Now that you know how it feels about it's territory you can adjust your activity and she probably will be happier for it. Chop sticks are good for "herding" them onto a box or container for cleaning their cage and a host of other activities and they are sharp or heavy, both good things. Good luck with her. [/QUOTE]
