[QUOTE="Tabitha, post: 140189, member: 27934"] [USER=27677]@Dave Jay[/USER] thank you Dave, yes:D it was an unusual sight and it was accompanied by some shrieking, thank goodness no one saw, progression was in various stages, first removing objects from house with tongs, then getting her out gently fromm under the substrate as she had dug a burrow, I waited for her to be on the flat back of the viv, but in fear I hesitated and that’s when she ran, so the truth was she just moved a bit but to me it was a near death experience, my concern was hurting her through lack of knowledge and fear, anyway, attempt two and she’s in the pot, but whoa! One false move and the board might slip from the back and then spider loose! I am pleased I did it because she scares me and she’s flighty and fast, she’s supposed to be docile and slow which is why I got her in the first place. I’d already moved the harmorii and the acanthuscurria and they are quite big but she was the scary one. In the past my phobia was so bad I couldn’t look at a photo of a spider and wouldn’t even touch something a small house spider had walked on months ago.. for months. :) [/QUOTE]
